The Co-op: I’m late but it’s been a wild few days.

Mutcedes has finally being used for its purpose in lifeIts taken Phillip to get to the motor projects we have in house trying to get brakes work and new fuel tanks installed.  FINALLY, it came to pass pulling the core motor building up this new 455 roller cam, correct color Kryptonite cam workhorse going to its big closeupand you KBOW Eleganza was right in the middle of it.  Install on the backside of Mutcades takes @ 3 hoursthe end goal will be to actually drive the drive train combo before taking the 30 house to put it all in a coach.  In this case, this first use and with the fact that we’re lacing a Monster built transmission which I really don’t think I need to test…we’re running the motor only this 1 time.  In that we are so far behind plus more motors to be tested, we won’t drive the motor this time.

Over 60psi our pressure Phillip say this puppy sounds especially mean!  No for heating the motorhome ready for its new set of pedals its long past time to get this done.yoh might remember we were getting this survivor back to the road…..Honda generator, 4 bagger, new tank and FiTech, wheels, brakes to an already badass machine….on my 37 mile final test drive……the motor spun a bearing.   Bummer but hey, that’s what a good test drive is for so now the new Money as trans and C-op/Koba roller motor should unscrew the lug nuts when its all together again.

The ole war horse let go 200 yards from getting back to the shop, it truly gave me its last full measurecare fully removing the FiTech fuel injection gift it had been given will be the lungs for the fresh roller motornow run in showing us 70psi oil pressure this blue goose is back on the stand with the second “blue goose II” in the wings waiting for its paces when Phillip gets on a roll stand backin that pic u can see our merely mortal 455 donor in the background giving up its home to give the geese their lives beginning…..very touching and there’s Mucedes doing it thing too…..its epicird Sunday….big things actually happening today…….stay tuned for something really exciting.  Thanks for your support and your visit.  This is REALLY starting to get fun!
