I agree with your plan . The coach will have two chassis batteries , one on each side just forward of the rear wheels.
The batteries are 8D . I replaced the batteries on # 89 with Deka units . I think they were about 165 each.
There are horror stories out there about Detroits running away when started after long down time due to fuel rack sticking. Tejas Coaches is a good source of information about this . He advises having something ready to block off air intake just in case .
Interested to hear how everything goes .
