I put a few more conversions on the page. Where I had several pictures, I used a "photo gallary" of thumbnails so the you can see various details.
Any more for the collection?

Sonnie was the co-presenter of the seminars and I have tons of pictures. That is the problem. I need to sort through all of them and pick a few to put on the page.
Have received a couple off line and will get them on the page in a few days. Will be on the road for the next three days and then at a couple of trade shows.

Here is a Clipper with a 8V-92. Said it was a 120 mph bus, YEEEE HAW  He towed his formula cars to the races with it.   |

Kent. I only have the one picture of your bus. I would love to have both your brother's bus photos as well as more of your bus.
Airbag, do you know the owner of that great example of an UNUSUAL conversion? I would love to get permission to use the photos you posted.

It is the bus featured on the latest post "Leno's Fexi" But it really belongs to a race driver named Bernard who you will see in the video. Go to the main All Topics section and you will see it. I have no idea how to contact him but I'm sure he will be back at Phoenix International Raceway in October. Try Google Clipper 6V-92? |

Airbag-granted the upper pulley says 8V-92, but it doesn't have the big vibration dampner on the front of the crankshaft. I'd say that's a 6V-92TA-which is still alot of power for a Flx. Good Luck, TomC

If that's Jay Leno's Flx-that engine is a 6V-92TA that has been boosted to 435hp and 1350lb/ft torque. It is quite fast for a bus. Good Luck, TomC
