Well I didn't stay away for very long.
I have been after this A Car for just as many years as that B-71 Mack. I lost where this A Car went for fifteen years a week ago I found out where it's been hiding.
One of the outside parts salesman that call on the shop was just grinning when he showed me a pic that he took of an old truck. I showed him a pic of the same
rig from the same vantage point. It is now minus the bed and hoist and has just been setting in the weeds for years. I will know sometime this week about the
price. I'm figuring it will go fairly cheap, well under a $1,000.
I have a BC-IV 400 cpl 676 non STC engine. That CPL 676 was a great engine when converted to full flow cooling like the BC III, plus change after cooler. And I
have the BC III parts to change it over. The first IV's had high compression and the cam had more valve lift, plus the block used lower press fit liners. With out
a huge expense you can get 475 HP out of one and it's still reliable. If I end up with this A Car, it just might have 400 plus hp.
