jessecam Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 You guys are a blast, sounds like skys the limit. Dont sound like the straight 5 trans is not very universal. I never thought about the dt466, or detroit 71 or 53 series. I do have a 2000 5.9 cummins, 1988 dt466, in very good shape to but part of me wants to keep original. I am supposed to start on this project this fall and am trying to get all my ducks in a row. Its hard, I want to pull the engine out now.

Do you know what the hp difference from the 401 is and is it a clean bolt in were everything will match up. Like I said, dont know much about the gasser's. Has it been sitting a while since pulled. That may be a great option for me. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35828-1956-mack-b42x-delivery/page/2/#findComment-246832 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdogtrucker Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 401 even empty is sloooooooow.....413 gasser would blow it away!I had a Dodge with a 361 and that was way faster also.

Maddog13407 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 its a direct bolt in. I have all the brackets, motor mounts exhaust pipes even the muffler. only thing that needs to be done is tri 1/4 out of the top rail of frame about 2'' long and move the steering box over. I have the cut down spacer for it also. of course you could put headers on it and wouldn't have to screw with the steering box. id make anyone a good deal on this complete package if they are interested. its set up for a Trd67 series tranny with #2bell housing but I have an adapter plate for a TRd77 series for a lil extra if someone is serious. 401 was 150hp. the 413 was rated at 200-220. we had one in a 66 R model with a 18 speed double over quad and everyone says its an animal. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35828-1956-mack-b42x-delivery/page/2/#findComment-246837 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ditchkus Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Not much of a problem for an air compressor. All you would need are brackets. If Maddogs does not have them they are pretty universal from any truck with gas engine and some diesels also.Joe D.

dockmen027 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 How about a 671,nice sized engine for a B . That doesn't sound like a 6-71 to me, more like a 8V-71 with a turbo, especially with one stack. Pulling roadtrains with a 6-71 would be tough...Nice B-model, however you repower it, Jessecam.

Maddog13407 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 has an air compressor... it was in my truck which was originally a B613T that some idiot repowered with a gas job. and went thru a lot of work to do it. nothing wrong with the engine, just dunno why someone would go thru all the work, has a belt driven air compressor. engine is complete, on a stand from carb to pan. has full exhaust with muffler and the motor mounts. had a trd77 5 speed direct behind it with a 3 speed brownie box and an 8.24 rear end. was set up to spray tar. Tar Asphalt Corp oned it in Utica Ny.think they bought my truck, and a wrecked B42 and made one truck out of two.
