I have a '79 Eagle conversion that I'm about to sell. I know everyone will ask me what size the engine is, but I have no idea how to tell. I have a webpage set up with pictures of it. There is a pic of the engine so if anyone can let me know I'd appreciate it. It also what looks like a pto that runs the engine fan. Never seen that before...is it normal?

If you are selling the bus you need a picture of the frame and engine carrier of the bus. Anyone that has been reading the bus BB for any length of time will have a fear of rust on an Eagle that is a 79.
It scared me so much I would not even look at them when shopping for a bus. |

Good Grief. Ask a simple question and out comes the peanut gallery. I take it back...it's not for sale. Now would someone who actually KNOWS something help me figure out what engine it has or tell me how? I would appreciate any HELP that can be provided. thanks! |

That IS kinda sneaky, isn't it. Oh well, since I know something, and that's the only criteria by which you seek to acquire your information, please feel free to email me a picture of your engine, preferably in colour, and I'll attempt to identify it for you.

Open the engine doors. Stand in front of the engine and look at pully on the right side. It's close to were you add engine oil. It is a 2 groove pully. Look at that pully real close and there should be a # cast into it. That should tell you what you have. Probably a 8v71

Dale -
'79 Eagles had 8V71s, tuned for 275 hp and 770 ft/lbs of torque, mated to a 4-spd Spicer transmission. At least, that's the way they left the factory back then. Very few had HT-740 Allison automatics in them, comparatively.
The 92 series engines didn't come upon the scene until the early '80s, and most were turbocharged, discharging into a single muffler, not duals like this coach has.
The PTO is normal. OEM it drove the alternator and radiator cooling fan on the left, and the A/C compressor and condensor fan on the right.
