    Here is another one:

    Says out of stock (go figure) but there seems to be a lot of variation in price on these things. It also says that they are actual part numbers for Mack E6 engines so it may or may not be an upgrade. I have no clue but I found them pretty easily via the Google machine.....

    It was definitely an upgrade compared to the factory turbo. With fuel plate ground and slid all the way forward it runs strong. Spools fast and as long as you keep the manifold pressure up the egts never get high

    Been my experience a good strong E7 had trouble with the pump staying on the engine. I don't believe mine were 600 HP, but they were very strong and after being in service a while they always developed leaks in front of the pump. I remember strong E6 4valves with similar issues.  Decompress it and bail the fuel to it.... it'll make 600 horse for  a little while (lol)

    I have a strong running e6 that will hang with the big cats in the hills but both heads are leaking now and im sure it will break the block or crank sooner or later. But its been running that way a long time

  3. What i would do. Right or wrong is start with 454 spec pistons and cam. Then put a mechanical pump on it and grind the fuel plate and slide it forward or remove it and probably a hx55 turbo. Bigger nozzles. I bet 600 will be easy. How long it will last who knows.

    I have this E7-300 for sale still. I guess it could be upgraded to 400? Not sure what would be involved.

     

    Thats a vmac looks like. Im sure i can put mechanical pump on it. Probably have to change cam pistons injectors and turbo to bump the hp up. Ill keep it in mind

    Well in the back wood's are a little behind time's here in Connecticut they look for a " Chassis Modification Decal " you can have a tri-axle  but no decal you get a ticket for a ten wheeler a buddy of mine got a ticket for exceeding tire rating ........he was 138,000 plus other ticket's on a trailer dump off loading a salt ship the fine was over 40-K ?

     

    Different here. We can go to 96000 lbs but you have to be a certain lenght. Like 61 foot from center of steer to center of rear trailer axle. And you need 7 axles. But you cant go over 34 thousand lbs on drives . So even if you have 52 rears 34 is all your allowed

    No......I work for a rigging comp hauling pre-cast tore them apart it's not safe State Police / DMV are looking for underrated suspension's / tire's .....We had 26 + tractor's on a daily basis 200 mile radius....

    I never met a dot officer that was smart enough to tell a 38 rear from a 44 rear. They will look at tire ratings and thats about it
