I am looking for someone who can tell me about A.J. Marshall's 455 turbo-charged, port fuel injection engine which I now have.

I know his coach was done by Buskirk and that he wrecked that one in West Texas-fell asleep at the wheel. He then began "constructing" another GMC using a Royale which he gutted and installed this engine in and was patching various holes as he evidently had some special interior design in mind prior to his death. He had also stripped the upper exterior walls and added 6 wheel disc to this coach. I did not receive the electronic parts for engine management,unfortunately. Current plans are to have the engine gone through, improve it cosmetically and install it in the Edgemonte we are transitioning to.
I think it might climb hills better(understatement).
I do not know anything about the engine internals and hope the builder can tell me, unless A.J. built it himself which is a good possibility.....Thx, Michael at GEMRECS 713-373-7775

Max Pardy should be able to tell you, as he was at Buskirk during that time.
Call me if you do not know how to contact him.
If it is injected port turbo, I can help answer most of your questions.
