Came a long ways but have a long way to go. The engine was special built by a diesel shop in Kansas City Missouri. It was originally in our 71 Diamond Reo, but after the original Cabover engine sucked a chunk of the turbo into the valves it gave me inspiration and the insensitive to put the big mechanical beast in the Cabover and snag up a 12-71 marine super beast for the Diamond. The gearing in the old 411 rearends wasn’t meant for this kind of horse power and torque. Especially hauling heavy oversized loads. I completely destroyed the front rearend with the new engine and transmission. When I change the rear rearend I will video the process and show the differences between the new and the old. Wish we could of videoed the engine and transmission swap but we was in a time crunch. So allot more to come.

Got one of the quads out. Adjusted the steering, chain, done a tune and charged the battery. Getting ready for spring and for the weekend of March 18th. Me and my brother are going woods and gravel bar riding that weekend so we’ll try to get some good videos.
