That gas engine also has great possibilities. Talk to a speedshop. Those blocks have a lot of metal and can be built up. Some are even used in truck pulls. Lots of good potential.

Even with stock internals, they respond well to intake,exhaust, and ignition work. They are not high rpm engines, 4000- 4400rpm red line. But nice power in the mid range.
I have the old now Holley pro jection 2D fuel injection on mine. Anyone try the newer stuff? can only imagine how much further the technology has gone, and what gains are to be had with even better fuel management.

ive done some work with MegaSquirt and it is a pretty intense fuel management system if you want to go real deep into it.

Not right now, but at some time yes I do want to get deeper into it. The fuel map on the pro jection is not as tunable as it needs to be. Light throttle is always running rich. Mid range is good though.

My brother had an old cab over camper he was going to scrap, so i grabbed a few things. Stove, fridge, water heater and pump, table, sink, I'll probably grab the toilet, and possibly the black water tank. I don't know how much I'll actually use but it's free. Stove, fridge, and sink will probably be used at least to get the rv title and until we do the full conversion.

Work has slowed down enough to finally get back on this. Getting the subfloor installed.

Mine also has Daytons. No shakes, but I'm weary of them. Do you have previous experience in this respect?

I have Daytona on my bus and have had them on some of my trucks. Never had any problems with them, and do not see any reason to be weary of them.
However it is likely he has old bias ply tires, and that I would not for anything but a farm truck. Most likely split rims too. Biggest issue with them is finding someone who can work with them properly, and willingly. So not a good chioce for the long haul. There are 22.5 inch tubeless rims that fit, and gets you a modern tire that any truck tire place can work with.

I've been mounting tires on heavy equipment for years. They're a little more work but don't bother me. They have a split ring which isn't too bad.

When I lived in Gainesville I dated a girl who lived in a quonset hut house that was built in 1943, with two bedrooms and a big fireplace in the kitchen (I can't tell you why that was considered necessary in Florida). One of the coolest houses I've ever seen.

This was two quonset huts my grandpa picked up from a naval base in California. We made one big one. 100'x50'. Its great to work in out of the weather but it's not insulated so it hits over 120° in the summer and low teens in the winter.

Oh, that is so nice and big! Now you have to apply all the lessons learned from this site ... spray foam on the inside and get MUCH cooler & warmer!
