Well I think I have decided to just go with a general rebuild and not
add the GW 2.3 kit as I just don't have the funds to spend. I would
rather put that money into some SA Lights to see better on the road
while driving cross country and have some emergency funds available in
case a problem arises.

If I wind up living in CA after the trip then maybe someday in the
future I will drive up to GW and do a motor swap or have them do the
upgrade.

Thanks to everyone for there assistance.
