    On tipturbine engines i think the water/air will cool the turbo air more than the air/air, but dont know how much, i think the water/air intercooler are getting hard to find, i was looking for one to put on a 350, i found one complete, had to take it off for $200 dont know wheter it was a good deal or not but i bought it.

    I was wondering if you guys that have B61s have problem with your accelerator pedal getting hot when you drive for awhile, mine gets hot enought to heat the bottom of feet up, i figgerd it was because the linkage was so close to the back of the engine and above the transmission, i have a 300+ with a 13 speed roadranger. thanks Ron

    The water cooler is seperate from the air ,it looks like a heatercore,sets on top of the air cooler, gets water from the water pump, returns to the oilcooler, the housing is the same size as the air to air ,but the air cooler is smaller so both will fit in the housing, you could slip heater hoses over the ends and put a pump and maybe a little heatercore, might cool better than having 180 degree coolant.

    On the early 285, 315 hp engines they used air to air , on the later 285, 315 ,350, they used air and water, they called it series cooler, the turbo boost would pass though the water cooler first then the air cooler to cool the air more. Ron

    Steve you might take the short fuel lines to the filters off and see if you can look through them , i have had them where they look good on the outside but closed on the inside , like trent said you might check all the fuel lines, i have a 76 285hp with a 5 speed 3.87 rears ,it will run with a 350hp cummins with 90000 lbs + pulls good Ron

    If you use an airshift 6 speed out of around 1988 it is overdrive, a freind of mine bought an 88 at an aution for $ 1800., 4 valve head 300, 6 speed ,5.55 rears, i drove it home for him , would run 65 mph @ 1800 , you could lug it down 1050, i turned the rpm up to 2200, it might run 75 mph now Ron

    Are you useing a 5 speed or a 9 or 10 speed, i dont know wheter the M is for maxidyne or not , you can use 9,10,13 behind the maxidyne, but the E6 might be made for a multi speed, dont know about useing a 5 speed , it might not be good lugging the engine down that low with a 5 speed.

    I have a 72 R model that had stacked springs , i used 3 leaf springs out from a u model and the spacers,and the rear spring hangers , every thing bolted in place, rides alot better , since your R model is a western i dout it would work, but dont know. ron
