We enjoyed listening to my aunt/uncles stories about traveling in their motorhome (1976 FMC) and thought maybe someday. Mike.
Mike, the 1976 FMC's are still rollin'! See my signature as it is my first and only RV. Currently upgrading it from the 440 to an '06 Duramax with 6 spd Allison.
Good thread!
That will be AWESOME!!!!! Please start a thread and post up a LOT of pictures of that transplant. I would love to see that.
My aunt/uncles' was a 1974 and it underwent many transformations in the 10-ish years they owned it. My uncle rebuilt the Chrysler 440 engine and transmission and installed an air research fuel injection system on it as well as heated tanks and a complete paint job along with a 22' enclosed snowmobile trailer all painted to match. They purchased it around 1985 and sold it around 1995/96. It made several trips to Alaska and two to Mexico with their motorhome club. My wife and I really wanted to buy it when we were looking but simply couldn't afford it. About a year after we bought our Travelcraft they ended up selling it for just a little over what we paid for our Travelcraft. Not that I didn't love our Travelcraft but I really would have loved to have that FMC.

Mike, click on the link in my signature that says "Gas to diesel conversion". That is a 15 page photo story with explainations of the photos of the conversion which is still happening. At the moment, the website is down as it is being moved to another server, but it should be back up in a day or so.
Thanks, I will check that out. I didn't see that the first time.
Mike.
