what year is that motor? 1st generaion?

2000 from a Thomas bus with the P pump

[Kamikaze12volts]

here's what i got this morning ......

A 65 pounds Cummins 14" flywheel
Air tank be be converted to oil reservoir
4" silicon elbow for the snorkel
Air hoses and fittings for the bags
And new pedal rubber from Saturn Surplus



The truck will get into the shop tomorrow afternoon ... but i didn't received my Valair custom clutch So i will need to get the tranny out a second time ....

Guess what ..... ?




Pics to come .... Good news and bad news also .............

[Kamikaze12volts]

Better snorkel pictures .... i paint the snorkel semi gloss black but next year i should repaint the entire truck ... including bumpers and snorkel in OD.

Made with 4" exhaust tube ( mandrel bend ) and tig welded.






This is what the new 6BTAA look like lowered ....




And this is a side shot with 3" of body lift.




So the good news .... everythings fit together. The bad news ... i will have to sell my 14" flywheel because after talking to the Valair clerk ... i will need to order the 1100 pounds of torque twin disks clutch assembly and it come with a specially design flywheel. My flywheel is good but since the truck is heavy and i will try to touch the 1000 pounds mark .... i have to buy the heaviest duty clutch possible.

Why did you have to increase your body lift?

Snorkel looks good!

Why did you have to increase your body lift?

Snorkel looks good!

The SAE bellhousing .... that thing is big and the mounting plates were touching the floor .... so you have two choices .... 3" body lift or need to cut the floor and firewall.
