I find myself in need of an engine for my 78 Buskirk Stretch. We still do not know what the problem is, but it does not sound good. It may be repairable locally, but I am looking for for alternatives. There is S&J, and also Mondello here on the West Coast.

I contacted Dick Paterson, but he said he shut down his engine shop in March this year due to new, stiffer EPA regulations. Dick recommended John Beaver and said he was building good quality engines.

I have tried to get contact information, but the only thing I can find on Beaver Racing Engines is on Facebook, & I don't participate in Facebook. Can anyone provide a phone number or email address so I can contact him?


The coach is sitting at Manny Trovao's now & my primary objective is engine longevity. I & mostly Manny did this engine R&R five years ago. We, mostly Manny, will do it again, but I do not want to impose on his friendship a third time!

Thanks for your help, John Shutzbaugh
