Not the best choice of engines. A simple Corvette pushrod V-8 would have been better IMO. A Northstar is a bear to work on, and has a few chronic issues.
Still, an ambitious project to be sure.

My paternal grandfather really liked that design and planned to buy one...he even kept some promotional material on the car, which unfortunately isn't worth a lot today. He later became a big fan of Corvairs...not a surprise I guess.

No real brochures, nothing in color - just some flyers and price lists. I should try to locate them and scan them in. I am pretty sure my dad had them last. My grandfather was kind of a technology nut - they were early adopters of television, and in 1940 he bought a private plane, and had one for many years. I know my dad has a pile of period aeronautic material. He wasn't unusually well to do either, he just liked machines.

I'd be surprised if the lightly-capitalized Tucker had much in the way of brochures and sales material. As for color, well my 1962 AC/ Shelby (260) flier hasn't got a lick of color, it's all b&w and that's from almost fifteen years later and Shelby is believed to have had financial backing from FoMoCo..

I assume your "roof unit" is one of those removable hard tops or truck-body caps.. Most of those are designed to be installed or removed by a couple of able-bodied males. If you wanted to do it yourself you could rent one of those hoists they use to lift engine blocks.>
You should have no trouble finding one in Lost Angels, just ask for an Engine Hoist.

Maybe he was talking about an A/C unit for his motorhome, (or apartment complex.)
