Mack Doctor Jr. Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I found this literature in my dad's collection that he acquired at MACK's school back in the '80's. I wish this was an E9 version in the MACK trucks.See next entry for more pics -- Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/2129-classified-e9-versions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

GearheadGrrrl Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Note that thought the governor shuts it off at 2500 RPM, the power curve is still rising steeply... This thing could have dominated truck racing!Is the V8 tooling still around?

kentuckydiesel Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 There are some things that are just very unfortunate. One of these is that Mack would take the best engine they ever had, and pitch it when EPA updates were needed rather than modify it to fit the rediculous laws. I too wonder if they sold the tooling for the E-9 to another company, or just sent it to scrap.-phillip Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/2129-classified-e9-versions/#findComment-10411 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Maney Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I have dreamed about sitting one of these in a truck, I know where there is one, on a pallet, protected from the elements and probably never for sale. It may find its way into something some day. I can't wait to see it and hear it running! I don't know which horsepower rating it is, but, really it doesn't matter.

hicrop10 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 When I was buying my new CL700 with the 500hp v8 back in 1999 the dealer told me of these motor being mounted in fishing boat,that were putting out 1000hp.They got these hp from having a unlimited source of water to cool the motor.Mike Durkin Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/2129-classified-e9-versions/#findComment-10430 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAD DOG Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 THEY ALSO WERE USING THE E9 FOR MILITARY USE . THEY WERE PUTTING THEM IN TANKS , AND REPOWERING OLD TANKS WITH THEMA FEW YEARS AGO. THEY MIGHT STILL BE. I HEARD THEY WERE RUNNING FOUR TURBOS ON THEM AND THE HORSES ???? I THINK THEY EVEN MADE THEM ELECTRONIC TO. IT'S LIKE EVERY THING ELSE WHEN THEY MAKE AN ENGINE AS GOOD AS THE E9 THEY TAKE IT OUT HIGHWAY PRODUCTION AND TRY TO PASS OFF THE NEW GARBAGE OFF ON US.
