ws721 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Just bought an 81 Mack that the turbo is missing. So I don't have a core. What direction can folks point me to for buying a new/reman turbo? Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good!

Superdog Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 did you get the black Cruiseliner that was on Ebay? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34778-turbo-for-early-350/#findComment-234060 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ws721 Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Yes I did. We were high bidder the first time it was listed. Made them an offer, they relisted it. We came to terms. Lol. Now I need more parts. Thank you for the turbo info. Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good!

ws721 Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Did I read on here somewhere that the R in a hp rating means its a 350 for a 5 or 6 speed? as oppose to a standard 350 set up for say a ten or 13 speed. example E6 315R instead of a E6 315 Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good!

Superdog Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 to my knowledge.there was never a 350 or 300+ either for that matter,made for use with Maxitorque direct 5 and 6 speeds. I've seen and heard " I had one of them 300+ with a 5 speed" so many times when in fact its just a plain old 676 300 series.I ain't saying that someone has never cobbled them together,but it wouldn't work for shit.

2stacksuperdog Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 We ran/run R models with 350 6 speeds. just as good as the 350 12 speed combo except no stupid air stuff to deal with 1 Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34778-turbo-for-early-350/#findComment-234089 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I never seen a factory 350 with a six speed.Dont get me wrong air splitters are good things just when the truck dont want to move because its too cold and having air lines/valves to deal with just makes a manual trans nice 1 Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34778-turbo-for-early-350/#findComment-234101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
