Mike should be close with Scotts engine upgrade by now,
It will be another classic that will be able to travel around economically and alot less troublesome.
I fired mine up today and aired it up, just love the sound of the turbo!! Just touched the key and it flashed right up,
Best part is no cloud of smoke like the old engine. Were really looking forward to getting out on the open road with it in the spring.
Thats great news about the ism engine you found for your coach Jon! Hope you can work a deal!!
It really too bad there doesn't seem to be too many more interested in upgrading the engines in the classic Newells here, seems they would rather just buy a newer one with a 4 stroke already in it. Were on page 2 here? Really?
To me theres nothing like the looks of a classic, then to put a newer more efficient powertrain? Come one folks this is cool stuff here!! Interior upgrades? Electronics?
Wow theres only about 2 dozen of these things built every year lets make it happen!!
