Title: engines
Post by: Don Fairchild on June 17, 2009, 04:43:51 PM
Ok

I came across two 8V71N that were rebuild with TA blocks, would any of you like to have an 8V71TA at say 370 380hp for your bus.

I have cams, after coolers, blowers, turbos. Send me a pm and lets talk.

Imagine the look on the brand new charter coach driver's face as an old MC8 bus conversion pulls alongside, gives a little wave, then walks away up the mountain....

I am content with my low mileage stock 8V71, but would be pleased to live vicariously through the eventual owners of these two engines!

happy coaching!

Fred!!!!  You know you can't pass me!!!  It just wouldn't be right.   :)

Really, I think a trip to Don's place is in order for you.  I'm thinking he may be just the guy to fullfill your dreams ... Uh, I mean fantasies!

Let me know when you want to come over and see what 400hp feels like in a 40' bus.   ;D
