James,

FWIW as a data point, I run a 009 in an otherwise stock '69 bus (using 
the screw & hose trick as needed), and she purrs like a kitten.  

I mean it used to, it's in a million pieces on the floor of the garage 
right now,  but it will again.  :-)

I know you guy's engines are a little different than mine, but I wouldn't
be too quick to blame the 009.
