... You might check to see what kind of Jasper dealers you have in the area, I know for sure they rebuild the 455's as that's what Jim Bounds sells for the...
Eric, thank you for that suggestion, my friend is acquainted with Jim, since he lives in Florida. I think he would like to have his block rebuilt rather than...
Called Jim to check since he is the resident 455 guru, here was his response to me: "Michaeel Bozardt started up a GMC bone yard there in Houston, give him a...
Eric, I have gotten in touch with my friend Bruce Head and he has nursed it at 40 MPH into Louisiana and is hoping that he can get it home to Melborne. He has...
William 400K cool my ole 290 has a lot of miles left :) happy dance! Is your friends 290 a 77? Has the engine been changed? or maybe a different 290? If it is...
Actually Curt it is a 77, he has run Slick 50 in it forever and did a rebuild at about 300,000 and then a rebuild so this problem has really surprised him. I...
I guess though it shouldn't be a big surprise based on the rebuild, just a bummer to have hit something. My temp light is dim enough, i doubt I would notice it...
William The reason I ask is my 77 is a 403 I was wondering if your friends had a 455 if it had been changed, or still had the 403. I haven't run slick 50 but...

When I talked to the other guy with the 502/502, he stated that he just jacked the coach off the drivetrain and left the drivetrain on the ground. Then it was...
... I think you will find that some of the 1978 Slant noses were the only slant nose that was powered by the 455 and Olds drive train. I believe a few of the...
Curt, yes you are correct, I forgot that it was as you suggested '77 that the 403 was the factory installed engine. Thanks for unscrambling what brain I have...
William & Curt, Glad to hear that some of the parts are available. Wish I had known last June when we were scrambling to find that lower ball joint, but that...
Does anyone know if the house battery compartment on the later slant- nose coaches will accommodate two six-volt golf cart batteries safely (like the Trojan...
Eric, My '82 takes two 6-volt golf cart batteries. I just went to the local trailer place and paid about $45 each for deep-cycle ones. They fit in snuggly...
Not sure how much research you have done as to what EFI system to put in it, but I have a recommendation. Go with a '94 or '95 GM ECM - part number 16197427....
