The Canadian M809s had a "hood scoop" to clear their jake heads which is probably similar to the little box you're talking about:

This is true but we have a solution to that problem now: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/3-jake-heads-under-a-stock-m809-hood.195031/

Iceman, have you made any progress on your rebuild lately?

There are a few hard core collectors around Twisp and I don't think they're on this forum. The guy I know has had the following: M151, M35A3, V-100, M548, M818, M1123?, and a helicopter. I'm sure he's owned many more than those during his time.

That's a decent deal. Hope I can find something similar when the time comes here in the PNW

Were you running 16s before? Were they a decent price?

Wes, do you (or any other members here) have any experience with the BHT3B turbos? It looks like they're the same as an HT3B but with the map width enhancement groove. Do they have any other advantages?

Thank you Migginsbros! Third time's the charm i guess 😉

That's a great comparison pic - thanks!

It looks like Borg Warner lists about 20 flavors of HT3B probably with different wheel sizes / cartridges. I came across a listing for a BHT3B that they say is ported for pressure spike reduction that plays nice with non auto-lash jakes. I think I'll look into this one a bit more.

My Hagerty policy says it can be used for pleasure driving in addition to club events & parades, etc. for 2500 miles per year but they don't ask for odometer readings.

Hagerty is insuring my truck that's stored outside in Washington state. They just charge me $60 more per year. I wonder if it's related to concessions they made to Gulfway as part of taking over their coverage because Hagerty also did not require that my daily driver vehicle be less than 10...

Some collectors here in Washington got some and then sold them after realizing they would need overwidth permits to drive them, but I remember someone on this forum that said in Florida you don't need the permits if the truck is for personal use (non-commercial). Bridge trucks look like they...

Aren't there also multiple flavors of HT3B with different sized wheels?

Looks very sharp - well worth the effort!

I want to add a pulse manifold and Schwitzer 4LHR to my stock engined M813 and I can't seem to find any technical info on the various 4LHR models such as 4LHR-733, -743, -773, etc. For you turbo guys out there which one would have the best wheel sizes to accentuate a 290-325 HP level without...

Will, thanks for chiming in with those corrections and other definitions- much appreciated. Looks like they want about $100 apiece for those Auto-Lash adjusters and at 6 per engine that's a premium upcharge just to run a divided entry turbo. Oh well - this is funner than collecting stamps 😁

I think I found the Jacobs document mentioning the replacement of adjusting screws with Auto-Lash adjusters on page 3 (listed under Small Cam III) of the install manual for type 401 jake heads. Do you think this change mentioned for a Small Cam 3 would work on our NHC-250?

This is sad news. Aside from their technical repair skills, their refurbishment/ restoration talents were top notch! I bought a full VIC-1 system from Gary and it is beautiful and flawless. The paint, the lettering, the details were all perfect.
