If you were closer to NY, I'd do it for you. As long as you provided the parts and beer.

I'd buy you a LOT of beer. As for Dan, I don't trust people who own gigantic hammers working on my car.

I can't see why it wouldn't. I doubt there'* a difference between the size of the series I and series II 3800. It'll probably just be a really tight fit.
