Hi Natest: Well, to be honest Still not sure what I'm going to do with it. It could end-up in the Marauder. But either way I figured it was better than leaving the cash in the bank. At least this is a tangible asset. My Marauder is cherry and all original in excellent condition. So to a degree it has appeal to being "untouched" But if I do go and screw it in the Marauder I will most certainly do the videos as I go. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hey Mega how the hell are ya! Good to see you still lurking about. To be perfectly honest I bought it simply to take some cash out of the bank and put it into some kind of tangible asset. And the gold I've bought over the years has gone up a bit, but not that much. And it isn't nearly as cool. I don't think the banking system is completely solvent anymore. It wasn't doing anything for me sitting in the bank. So the Ford Performance Gen 3 5.0L 480hp Coyote crate engine was my asset. It's already worth about 3K more than I paid for it. And as time goes by and these gearheads blow these things up I think it has to only go up. Then as an option it basically will screw into the Mighty Marauder. If that were to happen of course I would video the job. BTW, have you watched any of my videos on the 66 427 Chevelle and the 65 L79 Corvette I did a bunch of work on? As for the IMR 3031. I have used Imr3031, but not in the 7.5x55. I used it in the 6.5x55 Swede. I'm sure there is a listing in the loading manual for the 7.5x55. But this is my thought. When I had the choice of any kind of powder I wanted, which is not the case anymore, I picked a powder that would fill the case as much as possible, a high percentage yet still be in the optimum range. I think a fuller case has more consistent ignition. Having said that IMR3031 is on the faster side of the scale. Which means the recommended loading data will show less grains of powder than say IMR 4064. So it would it be my first choice, probably not. However, if I could get my hands on some I'd love to work up some loads and try it. I think the closest commercial powder to what is in the GP-11 ammo. Reloder 17. Being Reloder 17 is even made in Switzerland I think I disproved it was the powder used in GP-11.
@@lencac7952 , Damn straight it's only going to go up as the years pass 👍👍.. Yeah that's what I thought too about 3031.... Trying to spread out my lbs. of powder n I know it's a faster powder Reloader 17 I'm almost out of but got a bit of Varget which is next to #R. 17 on the chart.. Maybe I'll just make up a few below max. like 38 grs. .... be well n FJB.
Hey phone: To be honest I bought it as an investment. Being the Marauder is so completely original and in such good shape it would almost be a travesty to disintegrate that, almost. But I got the Coyote for a really good price so I think it will do nothing but go up in value as these youngsters blow-up the engines in their Mustangs.
Oh wow incredible man, My dream car this swap will be killer! Would love if you can update us along the way.
