12v71 In A Mack Chassis:

Recommended Posts

I've got a 12V71TT that I removed from service on a genset. It currently is set at 580 hp @ 1800 rpm with twin turbochargers, and adaptable exhaust manifolds that I could turn around for truck use. My question is this, I'm wanting to install this into some sort of Mack chassis but I have no experience with diesel trucks other than a B model, so what chassis will allow enough clearance, and allow a large enough radiator for cooling? I plan to show and haul my B61 tandem tractor, and my AB dump most of the time, but the truck probably will not get much more use than this. I know this engine well as I had maintained it the last 20 years it was in service at work and it is sound. What do you think of an RTO 910 transmission behind this engine? I have one that I rebuilt a couple years ago and tested in a B61 (replaced with a triplex), awaiting some destination.

Hope I don't annoy anyone with the questions as I've probably asked some of the same ones in the past but can't remember. Funny how the mind slows with age.
