...well the news is not good...seems the 403 in the stretch has given up.!!
I have not yet received the report from Blackstone, but that appears to be a formality. The 403 has a very nasty knock on the bottom end which means a rebuild is necessary. That having been said...it makes no sense to rebuild that eng. when a 403 is just not enough eng. for the 29.5' stretch...so I will have a 455 built as the new eng.
I will require a coach specific 455 with ALL of the brackets intact...any one out there in the Pacific North West have a rebuild able core that I could buy ???
