Hi Rick,

I'm repowering a 1963 Flxible Starliner with a Cummins ISC 350HP and Allison 6 speed. You can see details at CreativeCruiser.com

Thanks for posting pics. Please post progress reports somewhere.

We finally finished this project, it turned out pretty good and runs really well.

Great work. Really cool truck and clean install.

Re: 1946 Flxible Clipper Re-power
 

Very cool. I would have loved to have seen more pics of the engine swap.
I take my wife to a doctor every two weeks and pass one of those sitting in a storage yard. It's in pretty decent shape and would be very restorable. Each time I pass it I tell my wife that I would love to have it, knowing that she will give me a crazy look and ask me why I want it, LOL. She just doesn't get it.

Thanks guys, I'll see if I can dig up some of the detailed photos of the repower.
