Bullheaded Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Please keep us updated with pics. Those trucks are awesome.The beast don't even sound like a diesel....it's almost like a stock car, lol. You must be turning some rpm eh?It's too bad the big Mack Attack got dismantled. But at least we still got you guys and Tyson waving the Mack flag! 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33449-rebuilding-2-e9-v8s-need-info/page/2/#findComment-240148 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullheaded Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 You can always build a B model with an E-9 in it! That would make a nice "sleeper" Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33449-rebuilding-2-e9-v8s-need-info/page/2/#findComment-240157 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAD DOG Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Ryan. You need to take the trip up to Quebec in August to the Rodeo. Phil's pics are awesome but it's one of those things you just have to experience in person. Two full days of great truck races , lots of ice cold Canadian beer, music and a whole lotta French Canadian cuties dancing and wandering around just having a good time! It's kept a bunch of us going back for about 8 years now.

BAD DOG Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I remember the Big Mack Attack racing up there the first year we went. That was a strong running Superliner. Is that it chopped down and paired blue in you pic Phil or did you use parts from it in that truck.? Franco redone his R Model a couple years ago, is he running an E9 in it now? Didn't it have an ENDT 866 V8 before?

Oh and I don't know French you think that'll be an issue getting laid up there?

Kansas farmer Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I told the wife that we are going. Maybe not this year but next. When I do I'll have to get in touch with you guys for directions and what not. After I watched the first video on YouTube I was hooked.

Bullheaded Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Still ashame to see the Big Mack Attack changed.....but at least it is still going in some form and not scrapped. Looks good and great to see one still working. I knew where the fuel pump went but wasn't sure about the rest of it. Thanks for the pics. Awesome.

BAD DOG Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Does the snow usually melt by August?It gets just as hot up here as it does where you're at. But we still get the odd southerner vacationing in August up here with skis on the roof of his car asking for directions to the ski slopes. Lol! I live in Canada's most southern point and it's over 550miles for me to where the truck races are and they still get temps in the 80s and 90s in the summer .

Oh and I don't know French you think that'll be an issue getting laid up there? LolI'm gonna have to do Macungie too. There just gets to be too many things going on to go to in the summer months. I usually go to our own antique truck clubs events up here. Maybe I'll switch Bowling Green Oh for the pulls for a trip to Macungie. And yes it's possible to get laid up there without speaking French as a lot are bilingual. Lol! I we could have kept Sneakers sober enough to function last year there would've been hope for him. Lol! Wish I still had the pics from last year but I lost them other wise I'd post them. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33449-rebuilding-2-e9-v8s-need-info/page/2/#findComment-240349 Share on other sites More sharing options...
