Ac Engine Pics And Info
Mackpro replied to Mackpro's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Cool, thanks for the pics and info, hope you get it running, would you have to make your own parts?, we still have some gas powered Mack fire trucks running around here. We have a Mack bus with a gas engine in it, I wish I had time to pull the motor and mess . A tree fell on the bus and smashed it, it was already rusted out, the only thing left is the motor. Heres some pics -
Ac Engine Pics And Info

I'm new to the older Macks and would like some info and pics of the AC model engine, were they gas engines? 4or 6 cyl? were they made by Mack? Any info would be great! Thanks -
We heard it was called the "STEAMROLLER PROJECT". Our general manager was there last year but nobody was allowed acess to view anything. I hope they leave it at the 625 hp and not detune it like they did with most of the Volvo trucks it was installed in. We heard that at full 625 hp only hendrikson walking beam supension would hold up to the torque, air bags couldnt hold it. At the MP&/MP8 Mack school I went to last april they had some of the 16L Volvo engines in the classroom and said it was the future MP10 with a few mods to pass EPA. It is a monster of a motor.

Acording to the mack maintenance and lube manual, toe in is 1/16" plus or minus 1/32". We usually set them them at 3/32" toed in with the truck unloaded. We have sent alot of truck to the alinment shop to have the axle bent to get the camber set right. To much positive camber could wear just the outside of the tires funny. Good luck because tires are $$$$

I miss the old ign. keys that used to come in the late 60s early 70s R-models. The R models with the steel green dashes. Every now and then an old R-model comes in the shop with the orignal key, wish they still made those style key blanks.

Yes,very good so far, the best thing is we have not had a single low power complaint, even the guys getting out of ASET-460p and going into MP-7 405 hp say they are very impressed with the power. The MP-8 485s are a blast to drive, reminds me of the old 500 hp V-8s. Drove a CHU MP-8 485 the other day and was doing 65mph in high gear and when you stomp the throttle pedal to the floor in 2 seconds you better have both hands on the wheel because it gets scary fast quick.
