mack mhe9 Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 What was the clip used for? It was nice not like it was out side, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer52 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 What was the clip used for? It was nice not like it was out side,Trade shows I think. What you see is what is there. It is mounted on a plywood board. The lights work when plugged into 110V using a 12V converter.

Popular Post mack mhe9 Posted August 31, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2013 Yes sir I did. Everyone's standing there listening to the Gide and say holy crap that 6 has E9 heads. Everyone turns and looks at me like a freak but I'm ok with that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post j hancock Posted August 31, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2013 The museum probably wouldn't want someone in there with a lunchbox doing it Johnny Cash style. 3 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Maddog13407 Posted August 31, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2013 when I was there during Macungie show I think I asked one of the guides if any parts walked out during B model days..... he told me I would not believe it. springs, engines, spindles, everything left out the back door or in a lunchbox. ah the good old days. I would have had 10 brand new B models in my yard if I worked for Mack back then haha and the good thing is most everything would have fit, unlike Johnny Cash's Cadillac. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b61mack Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 did you notice the big 6 has the same heads as e9I was at the museum 2-3 years ago and was talking to a guy that said they used as many parts from the e9 as they could to keep cost down, heads,liners,pistons, don't know what else. I would liked to see the horsepower and torque rating on that engine,i guess we will never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inch longer stroke then an E9. C15 I thinks 5.5 bore 6.75 stroke. So I could see the same power potential. But you can see it would be outdated buy today's standards with 3 cyl heads, pushrod valvetrain. Yet I think it's a much better design with the exhaust opposite of the inj lines not like an e7.
