I got an email this week from Marc in Sturbridge, MA telling me he had seen this thread. Apparently he was able to track down and purchase his father's friend's '63 Tahoe and is currently in the process of restoring it. He sent me a bunch of pictures he wanted to share with us... pretty cool, as I dont think Ive actually seen a Tahoe outside of the brochure photos. Thanks for sharing, Marc!

Great pictures of a rare boat! I hope he continues to send them to you as it progresses, or better yet, sign him up.

Cool!

Tim,
What does Marc say about the engine? I don't see the heat exchanger that would normally be on the Gray fresh water cooled 215. Looks like some hose conversions have been made. Did he take it off or is that even the 215? Looks more like the 327.

Looks like he has a good collection of vintage snowmobiles. Good start of a restoration on that Tahoe.

Hard to say but they do look more whitish than the typical amber. Looks like nice clear stock though. Can't tell from the grain ether. I did notice he did a very original stringer job on it - just glassing the wood to the hull.

I wonder how bad that old stringer system was. It looks pretty good to me.

Is that a Ford engine?

Is the metal plate on the intake for hoisting the engine?

Bruce,
To my knowledge Gray never used a Ford block. Continentals on the flat heads and AMC (327) on the V8's. The odd ball block is the Buick 215 160HP that originally came in the Tahoe.

Yes, the stringers did look pretty good!

You can safely hoist an engine with that? I have to get one of those!

Some will say yes, some will say no. I prefer the studs or rings on opposite heads. Threads shouldn't really be holding the weight, shear strength of the shank is better.

It's interesting to see how the longitudinal stringers are supported to the hull. The ones on my Skier are about 1" short of the hull and are not braced underneath at all.

Same with mine in both boats. I am going to do what Marc did in the completed pictures. Seems to work fine in the Mustang. That is also similar to what I want to do for the spray rail backers.

Nope, the 2000 Tahoe Limited did not come with a roof rack. Badass truck, check it out. You'll see one at GL eventually.

Hell no, it'll actually be towing the '88 around this summer. I just want to add a truck to the wheeled fleet.

That may be true, but do we know that the engine is the original Gray? It sure looks to have some very similar pieces as my early 70's Conquerer 302's.

The Chevy Tahoes made in the 90's are good looking trucks... not sure Id consider it a step "up" though!

bruce the other problem with those intake plates is that its hard to change the angle of the engine when installing. easier with the opposite head bolt way
