Has anyone ever swaped a 6 cylinder for a V8? How much work would it be to swap? How much would you have in parts? I'm having trouble finding what I want. Everyone wants an arm and a leg for a superliner with a V8. I'm finding nice ones with 300s and 350s for under $10,000. Then I keep finding rough trucks with V8s and they want $15,000-25,000. Just exploring my other options.

Thanks for any replies,

Scott

Thanks,

Scott

Hey Scott,

your Magnum photos dont show it in a very good setting! is it dead or for sale?

Hey Nigel,

I found this one for sale on this web site http://www.gsnet.com/inventory/Trucks/Conv...85_73_RM600.asp Its not the nicest example of a Magnum but its the only one I could find.

Thanks everyone for the help. The RW613 was the truck I liked the most out of all of them I looked at. Now I gotta hunt the guy down and try to buy one of the trucks or maybe two if they are cheap. Then I can post some pictures of it.

Thanks again,

Scott

not shure??? did the trucks have air ride? maybee the air bags were down???

All of the trucks had camelback suspensions and were double framed.

I went to look at some Superliners today and one of the trucks was an RW613 and the frame was a lot smaller in height than the other trucks that I looked at. I think the other trucks were RW713's but I forgot to look. Is there a frame height difference between an RW613 and an RW713?

Thanks in advance,

Scott

with tires or without?? I could weigh my old style b model camelback at the yard if our scale still works?? it has the 5 spoke style less rims and tires.

I have heard air ride is less weight, not shure if its true???

Without tires. You don't have to go through the trouble of weighing it for me.

Does anyone know how much of a weight difference there is between a Camelback suspension and an Air ride suspension?

Thanks in advance,

Scott

I'm looking for a V8 Superliner and I don't know what suspension I want under the old dog. I have found them with airride however they want an arm and a leg. I've found some with Camelback suspension for reasonable prices. What suspension do you guys prefer? I want to pull an end dump with it plus take it to truck pulls.

Hey Guys,

I need some photos of Mack Superliner "Magnums"...I'll take anything ya got...please email me at dirtslinger82@yahoo.com

Thanks,

Matt

Matt I sent you some photos of a couple of Magnum's I have found. Tell me what you think about them.

Hope they help,

Scott

I'm looking to buy a Superliner with a E9 500 and my dad told me I am crazy that they are nothing but trouble. Is he right or wrong? What kinds of problems do people have with them? Is an E9 a good dependable motor or will it leave me sitting on the side of the road? I hear that if you don't turn the fuel up they will run forever.

Thanks for any replies,

Scott

If its any help, my super dog was advertised for $NZD 29000, with airride and probably 2million ks or more under its belt, convert that to USd and see how that stacks up, One is for sale in Australia with a camelback, sleeper, 1989 model and 120tonne rating  for $Aud 89000. But if you prefer bigger Mack v8s, then there is a 1998 Titan, 610 hp,18 speed,hub reduction diffs,6 rod suspension, sleeper, 200 tonne rating, 4 fuel tanks, bulbar for $AUD 115000.  Or a 2000 Titan, with Cummins 600hp, high rise sleeper, planetary hubs,Neway air,18 speed and travelled 500,000 kms for $AUD 176,000. how does that sound,?

Just remember guys that: A Dog in front of you puts a lot of people behind you!

I converted it to USd and it was around $19,746. You have a good looking truck. I think it would be worth paying that much for a V8 Superliner. Those trucks seem to hold there value. Thanks for the help Nigel.

Scott

I was wondering how much someone should pay for a 1988 Superliner E9 500, with air ride suspension, aluminum wheels, and 200,000 miles. Is it worth over $20,000??

Thanks,

Scott
