This is kind of an introductory post. I'm thinking of selling my Revcon. As much as I hate to part within, I'm being given a much newer Allegro. Mixed emotions because the build quality will not be good, but its newer and has slideouts.
I have a few things I need to do to prep it for sale. This first will be upper A-frame bushings and steering gear box. Once those are done, it should be ready for sale.
This is the most modified Revcon on the Planet, which makes it difficult to part with. It has a 502 crate motor with an Edelbrock MPFI. Thorley Headers, Magnaflow mufflers. Estimated around 440HP, based on acceleration tests and desktop dyno calculations. It has a 4L85 trans that was custom performance built. The front differential has been modified with stabilized bearing caps and 1/4 plate cover to prevent flex. It was also cryo treated. Steering bellcranks have been modified with tapered roller bearings. Rear disk brakes. Koni FSD shocks. Rear track bar. All mods have been problem free and take advantage of the handling capability of the original design. I have seen 98 mph on the GPS, twice towing a Grand Cherokee. This will out accelerate half the cars out there. If you need to get around a car on a two lane road, and you are pulling a toad, you still just step on it and go - providing there are no cops around - you'll be doing over 80 by the time you pull back in.
I've got my heart and soul into this machine, so I have a lot of mixed emotions about parting with it. I've owned this coach since 2001 and probably logged nearly 100K in that amount of time. Not sure how this will all turn out, but well see.
