    But how do the early ones compare with the later ones....? I only recently found out about these 1005 cu.in.... predecessor to the 998 cu.in.??

    I had posted a questions about the evolution of the E9.. haven't got much of a response. I was looking at a 1980 intercooled V8, but I am unfamiliar with the changes made with the V8's through the 80's and 90's. Would the 1980 V8 be a 'good' engine? The tags are missing on the valve cover. Any info would be much appreciated.

    Can someone here tell me about the evolution of the E9? Beyond horsepower settings and the "V" pump vs. inline pump. . . Were there any real variations or updates between the early 400's and the last 500's? I seem to recall that there were some head bolt updates, could be wrong... any info would be greatly appreciated. It had a 20 year run in road trucks (give or take), just curious if it was basically the same for all those years.

    Can anyone tell me the whys and hows of the hood scoop you'd see on some 70's and early 80's Macks? I've seen them on U's RW's and R's.... but they seem to be not too common... what's the deal there?

    I have been looking at buying an r model and was wondering about the steering box placement. Can anyone tell me why some have the box mounted at a quirky angle on the inner frame rail, and others have a more traditional looking box mounted on the outside of the frame rail?

    So, any turbocharged mack six can become a hi RPM multi speed engine with the AMERICAN BOSCH pump and the right turbo only?
  7. Outbehindthebarn
    Unbelievable. Globalization in its worst form.
  8. Outbehindthebarn
    What exactly was the differences between the Mack motors that were coupled to 5 and 6 speed transmissions and the one's coupled to so-called multi-speed transmissions? Was it simply an injection pump/setting or were there actual internal components that were different?
  9. Outbehindthebarn
    What model number was the 2 valve 350?

    Hi Roel, Always welcome to our European friends! I am continually surprised at how many American trucks and farm tractors end up in the 'Old Country'.... Could you offer any insights into why this is so? Regards und viele Grüße (im Deutsch nicht niederländisch) Ron

    Here is a picture of one under the dash... I believe its universal mount.
  12. Outbehindthebarn
    Stout little rig there...
  13. Outbehindthebarn
    Maybe I'll look for a Volvo.
  14. Outbehindthebarn
    Its really that uncomfortable? Much more than an old R model? I have a small delivery business and always thought an old B would help with business....
  15. Outbehindthebarn
    So an E7 would be possible as well?
  16. Outbehindthebarn
    So, how does it run? Any difference between the tip turbine and the chassis mount?
  17. Outbehindthebarn
    Well, how about mounting a tip turbine to a mechanical E7 then? Same deal or different?
  18. Outbehindthebarn
    Did the water/air cooled tip turbines make more horsepower than the straight air cooled tip turbines?
  19. Outbehindthebarn
    I remember seeing that on craigslist! good thing it ended up in the right hands!
  20. Outbehindthebarn
    I would really like to put together a B63 350hp. . . to run ≈ 20k a year... think it would be great fun!
  21. Outbehindthebarn
    So tell me murranji, what does it entail? Anything tricky?
  22. Outbehindthebarn
    Can you easily mount a water/air cooled tip turbine to a later model 4 valve e6? This would be for a B model re-power.
  23. Outbehindthebarn
    Ok, two questions. What is the difference between a b61 and a b63? Second. I see that some of the tip turbine after-coolers have coolant inlets and others do not. Is this a horsepower thing or a date of production thing? Did Mack ever produce a 350 horsepower tip turbine two valve engine? Sorry three questions.
  24. Outbehindthebarn
    Did the L cabs have a standardized color as well?
  25. Outbehindthebarn
    Were all B-model's interiors painted that green color from the factory or were there choices? Secondly, where would you find the VIN number stamped on a B-model. If there is no tag, was there a spot on the frame?
