question about 82 FC35 3208T turbo

[Mike Hohnstein]

I believe I have made a greater effort to bring an FC up to new mechanical specs
than most people are willing to abide by. My 'bird wants for nothing in running
gear competence. It's a dog. The engine is a sweet running 250 hp. with 10k
miles since I installed it. The pump is not encumbered with any emission
compromises such as the aneroid. The chassis is too heavy for the power, even
300 hp is going to be marginal in the mountains. If I were out west regularly,
and I am a native of Oregon, I'd need an 892 Detroit. There's a nice looking PT
38 @ birdconnection with the correct engine. I'm bumping my FC to 300 hp specs
and adding a driveline overdrive. It will be OK then but barely.
The NA block doesn't have the needed piston oilers for turbocharger duty, might
be OK in the flatlands not towing.

Thanks. Drat! That's what I was afraid of. It's a funeral
invitation for that engine. The rest of the coach was in very good
shape. The NA must be underpowered for that coach.
