Savage gets a little update / upgrade
 

Since winter is almost upon us I decided to do a little maintenance and up grades. Engine HP will be upgraded from 600 total to 680. Here's a couple pic's of the progress. Hopefully I can get this done before the ice shows up.

1. Installed O2 @ 8* to document Air/fuel
2. First engine comes out. 10 ton crane makes this go easy.
3. Engine loaded. FYI, the Electric motor next to the truck is a 1500HP Allis Chalmers
4. Second motor is out. Need to put the first motor in the washer after hone.
5. Clean area for assemble and second motor on deck.

Looking good. Keep us updated. Good luck Andy.

Nice Andy! That's a hella garage you got going there!

That's what I was thinkin...

Yeah, makes things convenient. Just need to find a couple more hours in a day.

Nice project Andy.....I think I'll be staying close to this thread. :whistle:

what is the 1500hp electric motor for?

Circ water pump for a local powerplant. It's a cool story. It has only been shut down a couple times since 1963. Don't make em like they used to.

Nice to see some pictures of the very first Active Thunder 28 getting a little love! I had a few fun rides in that boat with Pat and the original owner!

Nice work Andy.. as soon as I get this 18' 255Ibs I beam up on my gantry 16' high I`ll be ready to do the same. I have thoughts of muscle ing it up there but I think a boom might be in order.
