Re power

[Gary Hatt - Publisher BCM]

On the West Coast, look up CCW (complete coach works) in Riverside Ca, ample supply of 50 series engines and B400 trannies.

Good point Van. I have been to CCW many times myself for MCI parts. Personally, I like the sound of the 8V92 in my MC-9 but I like the power of the Series 60 in my 67 Eagle when I am climbing hills or just merging into traffic on the interstate.  I am thinking about recording the sound of my 8V92 and playing it back every time I hit the accelerator in the Eagle.    

I emailed my friends at CCW this morning and this is what they had to say.  


Gary, yes we have both S50 and S60 running take outs or used complete cores on both of these type engine. Feel free to contact me, if in need of a quote.

Also on the East coast Eric Brown (Ericbsc) in South Carolina had a 1998 RTS with a 50 series for sale with low millage. I would have probably got it for my repower if it wouldn't have been a V drive since I needed a T drive. also ditto on getting the whole bus it makes things a little easier but there is still a lot of small things you will need.

Gary, I've heard that on the new FORD F150 equipped with one of the ECOBOOST V6's, there is a speaker somewhere in the cabin that emits the sound of a traditional V8 to mask the sound of the V6. I guess it's only on the more premium models but that could be something for you that loves the old DETROIT sound.

The EPA finally approved the new 2017 Shovelhead sound track for the new 4 valve V-Twins.....for 49 states...California is still testing the sound track loop for C.A.R.B. compliance in the lower decibel ranges

What's a shovelhead?

What's a shovelhead?

Thats OK, Sportsters have a tighter firing range that makes them sound even better.

Shovelhead is a Harley and the reason is, got its name from the shape of the rocker covers. The covers were shaped like coal shovels . Thats where the potato, potato,potato, sound came from. Before 1960 IIRC it was the Panhead  where the rocker covers were shape like Pans.

Well that shows that I know very little about motorcycles. I always hear about the HARLEY stalwarts and their love for the potato potato sound.

I owned a 64 pan 72 iron head sportster and 76 shovel my present bike is 2001 road glide screaming eagle from 103ci. To 110ci. And the verdict is in buying a whole rts and converting 4106 to 50 series
