Yo,
Greetings from the Philadelphia Area. I have a 1978 34' Silverton Sedan that I bought a couple years ago. It was repowered with Crusader 350ci/270hp inboard engines with 71c velvet drive transmissions and Walter RV20 and 26 Vee drives. The engines were put in in 1986.

I am about to embark on rebuilding these components and would appreciate any helpful input. I have mechanical knowledge and have rebuilt plenty of gas car engines from the 60 and 70s.

I want to rebuild in order: the vee drives, transmissions and then the engines.

I just purchaced a rebuild kit and shop manual for the first vee drive from Walter Machine. It should arrive in a day or two.

Has anyone done this? Does anyone have any advice or trickss to keep in mind other than tto keep everything clean and orderly.

I don't think this is rocket science but would appreciate any helpful input.

Thanks in advance,
Slimbob
