Yes, you read the title right, lol ..
A local friend of mine, who is very good on electronics (for himself) tried another "One of a kind" project.
His last project was the Galaxy DX-55-300, in which he mounted the sled amp from a Connex CX4300-300 (bad main board) into a Galaxy DX-55V. That radio rocks, works perfectly and sounds amazing.
Now, his latest project is a Ranger RCI-2970 sled amp (with two 2290 pills) mounted on a Galaxy DX-2517. He swapped out the original power supply for a modern power supply that will handle it(switch mode at 67 amps). This radio rocks even better, signal is very strong, audio is that monster audio sound and runs very cool with no issues whatsoever.
I really didn't help him much on this project, he learned from the last project to compare schematics and block diagrams to convert them.
He's getting between 250w to 300w out of the 2517. Forgot to mention that part.
