Jamied625 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 you would have to move over the cab mounts, but would the motor fit under a b model hood? probaly a good idea to find a tape measure just my .02 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27831-idea-for-my-b-model/#findComment-141853 Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug stack1 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Well I already have a91 ch motor is 3 years old out of crate from Mack so as far as getting tape measure I'm sure I will wear it out the axle has to be moved forward that's easy the holes are already there for front hanger just have to drill rear holes and relocate shock mount I have quite the road ahead I was thinking of mounting air to air cooler inside frame behind cab and using electric fans have to fab cab mounts move battery box and exhaust. When finished will be great has air ride,jake brake,ac,dual stacks now all I need is time I know it can be done here goes nothing I will post pics all ideas will be appreciated Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27831-idea-for-my-b-model/#findComment-141955 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamied625 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 anything can be done I wish you the best of luck and have fun with your project!!! we all want pictures of progress as for the charge air cooler you might try mounting it just below the radiator have one made that is long and narrow so that the bumper hides it and then put your electric fans on it. this would hide it give you a more stock look!!

farmer52 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Reading this post got me thinking...International has their retro truck the LoneStar. What if Mack did the same thing...perhaps a B retro or a Pinnacle/Granite with an R hood?
