Re: Dreamscape 1968 Eagle 01
Paul,
I finally found time to do a little research on the history of my conversion. Some years BC (that is Before Cummins), I was advised to paint my 8-71 as it was looking pretty shabby at the time. I was told to use Rustoleum Hi Temp paint. I was told one of the standard colors, called Alpine Green, was the same as the original DD color. I used it and found it a perfect match.
Thought you might find this useful.

Re: Dreamscape 1968 Eagle 01
Here is a pic of the Allison. Had it Dyno tested at Pacific Power and it checked out OK, no leaks!
I'm almost finished with the double oil cooler installation. That turned out to be a fun learning project!
I am going to pull out the old DD this Thursday and swap a few parts of the old motor to put on the new one.
You can follow along with the pictures I'm posting in Photobucket here:

Re: Dreamscape 1968 Eagle 01
The shims are in place, just need to finish it up tomorrow. Need to go get a couple of 5/16" bolts, one was broken and the other was replaced with all thread. I remembered your comment on the shims and it stuck!
Thanks Sonnie! The condition of the cooler was fantastic! I appreciate it!
