Hello
I have been reading these forums for awhile, learning about school buses. We are planning to buy a school (or church) bus for tailgating trips. Our bus will travel about 120 miles each way for home games and longer for road games. Figure on less than 6000 miles a year. I was hoping you nice folks could give me some advice on what to purchase.
1. Are there any configurations that will allow us to cruise at 70-75 MPH?
2. What are the most reliable engines out there.
3. What are the most powerful engines out there?
4. Which type of tranny will give us the best performance?
5. Gas milage is not a huge problem because we will be splitting it at least 6 ways for each trip.
6. What is the best way to go for AC? Should we just slap some RV units on top? How many?
7. I've seen some "truck type" gas engines in a few buses I've looked at. These include chevy 350's. Are these identical to the one in so many pickups, and if so, would getting a good performance rebuild help me out? What type of speed could I then expect?
8. Will a rear end ratio change help things?
Thanks for you help! |
