Due to the new Calfornia EPA emmissions laws, the engines came (and are still comming) out of all kinds of different equipment. We have to replace them with tier 3 engines by 2010 or face big fines. As a result, we are pulling dozens of perfectly good, running engines out of all our equipment. Cranes, forklifts, backhoes, air compressors, generators, etc. The particular 6v I have came out of one of our big ass Pettibone forklifts.
What 6 speed are you wanting to use?
I dunno. Got any suggestions?
WORK OR PLEASURE?
FOR PLEASURE ID SAY ALLISON AUTOMATIC
FOR WORK MAYBE LITTLE EATON OUT OF OLDER MEDIUM DUTY, ABUNDANT AROUND HERE AND CHEAP PARTS
That's what I was thinking.
of course ive always wanted to put a 60 series ina medium sized school bus and hsop the top tot he split in the windows as well...

theres an english carclub that did a double chop on a double decker london bus , its there clubhome on the road .
those diesels sound good if there mechanical diesels (no computer) i would say go for it , if you do put the buildup on the forum will yah .
i just hope the engine sits low enough to be able to close the hood
