I was getting ready to tear this big boy down. . .
deside well i'm going to have it apart for painting anyhow so I may as well do the power plant swap now ! so i found a KT-cummins with 635hp fresh rebuild old guy backed out on it, so the shop's willing to deal to get rid of it $7,500cash and my old 903 cummins. . .I found a 7spd OD mack tran's " MikeyPlex " it's going to be a 7spd OD with 3spd OD auxy. . . 21spd with .61:1 final over drive should speed it up with a more even split threw the gear's from granny up to OD. . .Instead of my usual " MikeyPlex " 15spd. . .
ProJect:
So i think I may have some room issues with length so instead of stretching the hood !
What about setting the engine back into the cab ?
reconfiguring the firewall and floor pan ?
I'm going to have to alter the shifting linkages anyway. . .
Mike
