I've been looking for a 7 -8 row bus with particular floor plan(5-6 rows plus handicap door up front on passenger side)
I have been trying to stick with Internationals and Bluebirds for hopes of getting an inline 6, ideally DT-466 or a 5.9 Cummins..or even a CAT. With a small bus if everything else was right I am even considering the older DTA 360...and using it till I could afford to change an engine out.
PROBLEM. I am having a hard enough time finding the particular floor plan..when I do it always has a 7.3 Navistar (V-8)1991-92models. I don't want the V-8 but am wondering how it would handle its load for a while if in Good Cond@ aprox. 150,000 mi. I know with the governors and no turbo really cut out the power on such a set up..also can you realistically expect to pull that engine and have any kind of decent market price for someone with a particular kind of Project and then find another engine to put in the bus for a decent price. WHAT KIND OF ISSUES AM I DEALING WITH? I HAVE THE SHOP AND MEANS TO DO THE WORK
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME> |
