You forgot the rear swivel wheels on the frame to steady the coach when you
pop a wheelie! He also has a 750HP version 455 CI engine for $15,000.
By the way Joe exploded another myth I have heard over and over and that was
with regards to the transmission being a weak link for the motorhome. He
has tested the GMC motorhome transmission on his dyno with the 750Hp motor
with no problems. He puts Heavy duty goodies in the tranny. I need the
info and am in the process of springing for the money to buy his
blueprinting book for the engine. Forgot to ask him if info is available
for the tranny mods.
After hearing how many transmission failures people are having I have a
suspicion that they are being rebuilt with standard Toronado parts.
Any other thoughts. Does anyone have an idea of what HD parts we can put
into our trannys?
