For those of you who want to add a turbo to your 4104: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160392019326&_trksid=p2759.l 1259#ht_500wt_975 Perhaps some useable parts. The opening bid is cheap enough | ||

Seller has no history or credibility. That engine looks pretty rough. Would need to at least pull the valve cover. | ||

Well, We know what Bob is up to, and he knows what the engine is, even though the seller doesn't. From the pictures, its obviously a 671T, NOT a 6V71... G | ||

Plus a very old 671 look at the air box covers and that was before the after coolers and inter coolers were used just a turbo. | ||

OTOH, for $75. . . it's good for parts if you're nearby! FWIW & HTH. . .  | ||

RJ, He's only about 100 miles from me. If no one bids on it, I might take a ride down and check it out. I've got a '69 Freightliner I wouldn't mind adding a turbo to. Bob | ||

FWIW there was a transit system that ran 6-71s with turbos, saw some online auction once. the engines were transverse like a GM so I guess they ran left. Can't remember where maybe Jersey somewhere. | ||

FWIW that engine is a right hand engine | ||

Well, it sold for $510. More than I was willing to pay. |
