,One of our more mechanically proficient Dixielanders showed up here
with his beautifully restored, within the past year, coach for sale.
He and his wife sold their original GMC a couple of years ago and
bought an SOB. After a while, she said she just "didn't feel special"
riding in anything but a GMC. So, he bought another GMC and restored
it, with new paint and entire interior -- BEAUTIFULLY.
Now that coach is for sale because she didn't really like the floor
plan. He's now bought, gutted, and has ready for repainting, a rear
bedroom Royale -- '78, I think he said. Problem is, the 455 engine in
it has Edelbrock aluminum heads and intake manifold. Therefore the
engine hatch is raised and she doesn't like that. So he's looking for
an OEM 455 intake manifold. He'd probably swap even for a good one.
Is anyone interested? Let me know if so -- he's not on the internet.
Oh yeah, does anyone know for sure that an OEM manifold works OK with
the aluminum heads?
Or if anyone wants a really fresh 26' with new paint & interior, I'll
get more specifics about the one they're replacing. All I know at the
moment is what I can see and his mention that it has analog fuel
injection which is working well. Oh yeah, and the fact that Bill
Bramlett rebuilt the transmission in it just a couple of months ago at
my place.
