I am still around, and after placing my ad in BCM I have 3 new VIN/SN for the list.

Had a family member pass after a short illness and have been kept busy taking care of family matters. Should have an update the beginning of July.

What are you currently using for a transmission cooler, and is it adequate in IT'S current configuration...WILL it work in an upgrade turbo choice.
You might want to post it here for scrutiny also. (or not)
It is quite possible that it contributed to your dilemma.

Very good point.  Here is what I know about the current setup - the transmission oil flows through a heat exchanger mounted on the back bulkhead, where coolant flows in from a pipe that emerges from near the lower exhaust manifold, and then from the heat exchanger it dumps into the top of the radiator.

I can get a picture of the heat exchanger tomorrow and post it - I have no idea how to judge whether or not it is up to the task.

Regarding your  cautious stance on heat dissipation and it's abilities regarding each potential power choice....

Only the drop box will work on a Eagle the rest would be decorations to Eagle people

The last I knew, he didn't want to separate the drop box.  He just wanted to sell the complete rear axle.  If I could get it to Michigan I would buy it but shipping would be pricey.

Yep they will but the bell housing from your 8v71 is not the same as as 6v92 fwiw and the flywheel is different also kinda of a catch 22 I don't know of a highway coach GM ever made that had a 6V92 the engine it will probably be from a RTS model or other brands and watch those some are right handed not lefties

Wish i could Clifford, but with my income right now it just ain't gonna happen. Besides, as the Eagles ru, i mean age, there will probably be more available.

Are the alternator and air compressor interchangeable between the two?

Yes

My bus at higher altitudes runs hotter. I think it is due to the inefficiencies of a non-turbo and my tendency to make black smoke. My father's bus doesn't know the difference between sea level and eight thousand feet. We both have seven core radiators, and additional Hayden transmission coolers in series with the oil/water cooler. I don't see that many modifications with the swap. My father's bus has an extended shroud or tube that extends out to the fan. It is a simple setup that works. I can get plenty of pics if you decide to pursue it.

Have you noticed much difference in heat generation between the 8V71 and 6V92TA?
