Marcus; I had a '68 250 Ford Camper Special that had the 360 engine and from the time I bought it to when I sold it 15 years later, 8 miles to the gallon was...
Hi guys I am in the process of switching my 83 slant from a 454 carb to a 97 fuel inj. I bought a motor and tranny out of a 97 with 32000 miles. Also got all...

I know Dave I've been watching your progress. Probably should have done them in my machine shed. It's just a couple of hours away from you. I'm thinking about...
I talked to Jim, the guy with the 502/502 in his Whaletail. He did it that way and said it was pretty easy. He did not have a fork lift, but just jacked the...
- would probably no do it this way if I wasn't planning on putting in a new tranny. But I think this will be easier. The motorhome I got this out of only has...
Mike, I think the 4L80E will have a computer also, be sure and get the wiring and computer for it if it does. I'm changing to this transmission also and...
Mike, I'm planing on dropping the sub frame also. There is a lot of changes to be made and I want to clean and paint as I go. If I need to modify the floor...
Lyle, you may not want to bother swapping the gears until you see how it does. I calculated out the resulting front wheel ft-lbs of torque, and I still come...
I like to take time at the New Year to show appreciation for the people in my life who have made it better. This group, almost all of whom I know only via the...
Dave, If my calculations are correct with the stock ratio in the transfer case that would give me a final ratio of 2.5125 to 1 and with the .075 OD, and with...
I wish I had said that! Lyle S. ... people in my life who have made it better. ... have most definitely made me a richer person. The knowledge that I...
Eric-- Good job on the pictures you posted over on R_C2.. Although the angle is a bit wrong, the picture of the 1990 Dashboard is probably the most pristine,...
... Eddie, I figured people would find the new pics easy enough... I recently found those pics on the auction website from when the vehicle went to the city...
Hello everyone, A neighbor down the road has an 88 Revcon 31 ' for sale says lots of new parts.....new tires with i think he said 59,000 orig miles he's...
Lyle, You are correct in your calculations, but here is another way of thinking of it. The 8.1 is rated 455 ft-lb of torque. If you assume the torque curve is...

Revolutions per mile assuming a 29.5 tire is 705. 705 X 3.73 / 1.1 X .75 =1793 @ 60 mph. Currently, you turn a little faster than 2500 rpm because of torque...

The problem is before I entered this conversation, I should have done this calculation first: 705 X 3.73 X 1.1 X .75 = 2169 RPM @ 60 mph This is still pretty...
Mike, Dave's a good guy, even if we don't agree on everything. I bought a new 2007 transmission that is for 2WD, no transfer case. The 2WD version has a...
Dave, I believe you are correct, but if I leave the gears/sprockets the way they are wouldn't you divided the 1.1 instead of multiplying??? Making the...
Yep, that was in the other email below. 683 is the magic number revolutions per mile for a 30.5". That drops it another 100 RPM to 2101. You can find the...
Nasty day, about 45 degrees and misty rain. I took the Revcon out to fill the tanks (58 gal), and drove up 421, about twice as far as we went Dave. This is my...
Well, thats good about the steering. That is what we hoped for. I hate to say this, but sometimes a slight pull is easier to drive if it is very slight. I'm...
