What year e7 and are you looking for new,rebuilt,or used take offs?

Not sure on a 97 but my 99 has fuse box on outside of firewall by steering shaft that seems like I had similar issues and was a bad relay or fuse connection

You would probably have to use the 4560 Allison as the have a .60 overdrive where the 750's are direct drive your 2080 will be a .60 overdrive also

Yes they made single stick 6 speed pretty sure they were also designated a 2060 model same as the air shift 6 speed

I believe they have a .71 overdrive the same as a 2090 so it should run highway speed ok

V Mack 1 was rectangular and Mack did make a 1 to 2 conversion I don't know what it consists of or if it's still available and seemed pretty pricey

The 460's were the only one's wastegated I believe

There was one at Norwood Truck Wash Norwood Mo probably closer to you and cheaper

I may be interested in whole truck for parts 

Where is the truck located?

Didn't e6's have drive in freeze where the endt's had screw in freeze plugs

FJH I'm curious as to how the extra transmission maxed out ecm memory. Could you shed more light on the situation what did engineering tell you happened

Pretty sure you have to pull the dash out to change the bulbs

The 355/380 is only 100 less pound of torque than the 460. Do you already have the 355/380 ecm?

You should be ok to run the 355/380 ecm. I was told 400hp and under had same cam timing 427 &460 was keyed different their has been others on here that tried the bigger hp without changing cam timing and ran hot also. If it were me I'd put the 460 injectors and turbo and 355/380 ecm and run it

Yes they made 2 stick 12 speeds

I believe it was Brett on that was running a turned up e7 running a blixton tuner then went to a full mechanical pump maybe he will chime in before long

Wow that's some carnage. I'd say you need a head. 

 

Here's a piston from my '79 R686 that dropped a valve seat. Bits of the seat are embedded in the piston.

Would a head from a 84 or 85 2 valve e6 be the same?

Yes 15/40 motor oil

Can't say for sure but pretty sure it will fit right in it's just the newer replacement model

Joey I can  heip you out with that engine if need me to I'm about 2 hrs from it

I can measure mine tomorrow but I would guess about 87 or 88 inches
