Mackpro Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Had a nice and clean CV713 come in today for some trans work. Raised the hood and found a 2 Valve Head engine in there. It looked like it was done correctly with all Mack parts and mounts. Wish they were all that easy to work on. It had a 1989 CH dash and all the guages worked.

David Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Was it a glider kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackpro Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Was it a glider kit? Kinda but no, a guy I know buys the cab, hood and frame from a company that strips down new Macks and builds military vechicles using the Mack engine, trans and axles. He then buys the rest and builds the truck with what ever Mack engine/trans/axles the customer wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdog Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Are they titled as new trucks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackpro Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 Are they titled as new trucks?They use the orignal VIN as on the cab and frame rail. He has clear titles as I have copies of 2 titles of the last 2 trucks he just built. We are doing HP conversions next week to bump them up to 460, these 2 have 2000 E-TECHs in them.

HK Trucking Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 In stock form, the mechanical E7 topped out at 400 HP.I had a 91 RB688s dump truck with a mechanical E7 400, and it would pull away from a 425 Cat equipped truck like it was standing still. (Both trucks comparably loaded).. Quote "If You Can't Shift It Smoothly, You Shouldn't Be Driving It" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
