Driving the 1978 International Carpenter school bus

Here I am driving the bus. I adjusted the idle speed to keep it running when I let off the accelerator.
It must have an exhaust leak as it is LOUD.

The IH buses that I learned on and drove were1966 year with 392CI V8 with a two speed rear. OH and NO power steering. Then they came out with a 404CI we didn't have any 345CI

Clean/rebuild the carburetor and maybe some ignition work and it should run perfectly.

@HurricaneSondra My 1978 Mercury Grand Marquis is still running well and driven several times each week with almost 300,000 miles.

I would feel really, really uneasy about driving a half-restored bus lol, I'm just a wuss I guess xD

@ThePhoneUpdate The buses are driven on private property only and not on the road so if there's a problem it will not be dangerous. All of the buses would need a lot more work to be safely driven on the roads.

That petrol (gasoline) engine sounds really big. Do you know how many cylinders it has, and the layout? Also, do you know the capacity of the engine in CCs (cubic centimetres/centimeters)? I'm from England so I'm trying my best with the translation!

@BassGoodForTheSoul This is a V-8, 345 cubic inch engine which I think would be about 5.6 litres displacement.
