I did a lot of miles in one just like this. Pancaked 6-71 Detroit with a Turbo-charger and a straight 5 speed Transmission. I saw a few in my travels that had 10-speed Fuller Road-Ranger's in them and a few with Allison Automatics as well.
My entire route was on a large hill that sloped up off the valley floor, so I got to use the only bus in the fleet with a turbo. It's too bad that Crown isn't still in business. They built the best coach on the road.

crowns came w 3 engines: Hall-Scott gas i6 horizontals ,,cummines 743/ 855 diesel NHH (80' ) , mostly 220 -some 262 w turbo, rare -300 , newer, detroit diesels, 425 (6-71) some w turbos.... all were 90 or 80 degree horizontal (pancake) engines 'cause they were mounted under the floor ,in the middle of the chassis. very rare crowns had a rear engine , not schoolies...
