  • ‪@MerlinsOldSchoolGarage‬, Brad and ‪@jetskijim007‬ take a break from VW engines and head to Salome to pick up a random find. Take a trip with the guys to see what Merlin buys and what his plans are for this next project in the shop.
    Thank you ‪@industrialinjection‬ for my injectors and injection pump for my truck!

    “Cousin Paul” & Michelle announced they weren’t going to the OffRoad Games either… they stayed liability reasons if i remember right. It would DEFINITELY be a high liability to miss “Cousin Merlin’s” birthday bash.
    Hope you have an awesome birthday. Thanks for all the variety of clean old school motor fun!

    Hey Merlin,
    First, in 1966 while in Germany, training with the U.S. Army in mechanized infantry as an armored personnel carrier driver, we ran behind the M60 tanks to deploy troops.
    Those tanks were scary as hell to operate with.
    My M113 track was a large metal box weighing in at 13 tons loaded, but felt like a volkswagon behind an M60.
    When the tank driver hit the throttle, that grill on the rear filled with and belched out blinding black exhaust smoke.
    I used to nearly pray that driver did not goof and put that thing in reverse and climb right up on my track.
    It never happened.
    But when I was reassigned to Signal Corp and sent to Viet nam, I breathed a sigh of relief that i was done with the M60.
    Silly me !
    I had jumped out of the frying pan, into the fire as those monsters were now everywhere.
    That wonderful old Chevy truck of yours looks like it was made for that diesel engine.
    Glad to hear it was back on the road so quick after the injection pump crooked.
    Now if you could replace that broken window on the right side !
    Really enjoy the stuff you get into.
    Thanks for letting us look over your shoulder.
    Take Care

    The M60 tank has a 1790 cubic inch Continental air-cooled V-12 diesel. My unit at Fort Hood, Texas, rebuilt them back in 1982. We would test fire and break in every engine before we shipped them out. The earth would shake from 1250 horsepower let loose. Jay Leno has a gasoline version of the engine from an M48 tank in his Blastolene Special tank car.
