- The oil leak at the back of the engine seemed to be getting worse. I took the engine out, found and fixed the problem. Replaced the timing chain and gears and fixed a few other things. I also replace the mechanical fan with an electric one. Gas milage will be better and the engine will be quieter.
This is a 1975 TEC motorhome. The model is LARK. It is build on a 1975 Ford E350 Camper Special chassis. It has a 460 CID engine and a C6 transmission. It is a pre-emissions vehicle.
It's 21 feet, bumper to bumper. I bought it in Sept 1991 and used it occasionally for about 9 years. It's been setting for the last 20 years. Now that I'm retired, I think I'd like to have a small motorhome to mess around with. I will not be restoring this to pristine showroom condition nor will I be going ultra modern. I only want it to be useable and reliable. Mostly for my fishing and metal detecting trips. Basically a cabin on wheels.
When the motorhome is back on the road, would you let us know the gas mileage? Should be interesting. Thank you for your videos.
Will do!
Best so far is 7.3 MPG
