Popular Post j hancock Posted June 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2019 Started as a R-795 with a Mack Maxidyne V8 under the hood. Well, it still is a V8... A very neat and tidy swap. 6 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57780-was-a-v8/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were cleaning under the hood and stopped for my picture. I meant to come back later for a hood down picture but never made it. Maybe someone else who was at the show can provide a good picture for you. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Chuck P Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Allow me to assist. These shots were taken at Raceway Park Diesel Drags in 2012 when it had a proper motor and a shot with the long hood closed. 2 Quote "If it's all the sime to you...

AZB755V8 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I like the Green leaker but when it had the Maxidyne, that was PURE SEX on wheels and all Why Oh Why did the swap happen?

harrybarbon Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Thank you, we are thinking of a colour plan for our V8 Valueliner and this R model green colour matches our classic doggie, something to think about for a while yet.

harrybarbon Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Oh, I grew up around Jimmys, their V8's have their sweet sound, however I agree with AZB, all Mack V8's - on another level of ..., like Phil Spector's Wall Of Sound, no music comes close - play loud Righteous Bros - You've lost that loving feeling - Mack V8 raw power!!! especially if coming out of 8 inch straits Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57780-was-a-v8/#findComment-426157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxidyne Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Some of the best music I've ever heard was produced by a V8 Superliner pulling a loaded to 70 tons 17 axle doubles train in South Dakota a few years back. Last time I saw a Mack or even a Volvo pulling one of those 17 axle trains... Says something of what Volvo has done to Mack.
