caught this beautiful classic coach in traffic. Is this an 8V-92? or I guess an 8V-71

  • sounds like a 6V92 the idle is to slow and low pitch sounding for an 8V71. I rebuilt plenty 6V92Ts in MC9s. that air conditioner is going full tilt. you can hear the fan up by the front tire.

  • thnx for watching, i see what you're saying

  • This bus does have the Detroit Diesel 8V71N engine with the Allison HT-740 automatic transmission.

    My city doesn't have that many MCI MC-9 coaches anymore, including the MCI-102A3 coaches.

  • wow, you know your stuff

  • Definitely an 8v71. The pitch is too low to be anything else.

  • Very nice! 

  • @packerblade did you pass a light

  • @baul104 I totally agree with you

  • I think this bus is from the early or mid-80's...

  • On a trip to Seattle in 2005, or shutte bus a Gray line MC-9, sound like it was powered by a 8V-92.

  • Most likely a 8V71. The reason I think so is because the 92 series engine came standard with both a supercharger and a turbo charger. Buses equipped with the 71 series engine only had the super charger and not the turbo charger. If that engine was a 92 series you would hear a slight jet engine like whistle coming from the engine compartment.

    Both engines are good but the 92 gives you the best of both worlds.

  • 8v71
