    Heart Transplant

    We will be installing Trilogy 110 onto Bill Bandy's Marauder on Saturday, July 19th. This is the first transplanted Trilogy kit. We upgraded Hotrauder's original Trilogy Eaton to a Trilogy Twinscrew earlier this year. This kit has been in my garage waiting for a Marauder needing a heart ever since.
    Bill will be driving from Georgia on Friday and arriving at my house for the transplant Saturday morning around 10 AM. We should have it wrapped up about 3 or 4 PM with burnouts in front of the house shortly after.
    C'mon down, should be a good time.
    Current:
    2004 SB

    Sold:
    17th of 3213 2004 Marauders
    9th DTR of 982
    and best of all,
    71st Trilogy

    2003 TR Mach 1
    2012 RR BOSS 302
    2014 RR GT500
    2003 AB Mach 1

    I rode with Bill when I was in Georgia.
    Hell of a nice guy!

    However, It is doubtful he will do a burnout.

    My bad!
    I rode with him for 5 miles and he never got over 2000 rpm's.

    Maybe I caught him on a bad day

    He used to drag race back in the AA/Gas days with the straight axles, flip-up front ends, fenderwells cutout for slicks, etc. The kind of stuff I cut my teeth on when I was growing up and my Dad raced a '55 Chevy.

    More like a pace maker with a Boost-A-Pump.

    I really wish I could make this install, but for sure on the next one.
