OK Guys and Gals
I just Installed a Cummins engine In a model 10 and put the Radiator In the rear behind the engine with the aftercooler behind that, I received an email and the person told me that It would not work that I would have to put the Radiator back on the side of the unit,which would be OK but I dont have room for an angle drive, nor do I have one, I seen Jerry Russell put his In the rear on his conversion so I had to try It, I wrote him an email and ask some questions and he must be an awful busy person for he has never got back with me on this, my question Is does anyone know weather this will work or not, I would like to find out now before I go any further with the conversion,and I have left the puller fan on the engine, by the way I started the engine and It sounds wonderful.
Thank You

8.3 Cummins and a MT 653 Allison, I believe that the Cummins would cool a lot easer than the Detroit anyway, I have not drove It down the Rd yet but It sounds like to me that It has about twice the power that the Detroit 6V92ta had.how would I go about adapting the 12 volt 1/2 horse constant duty motor, and where would I get such an animal |

I don't know if it will work in your bus but I do know that Newell Coaches put the radiator in the back and they work fine.

go to a shop that rebuilds starters...squirrel cage from evap. air unit....two 1"pillow block bearings...bearing supply ..might have to visit a place that makes air conditioning ductwork have them make a shroud to force 'all' the air thru the radiator |

i have 2/24 volt bad ass squirrel cage fans,, and 2 /24 volt radiator type fans that may work with housing ,,they would be easy to mount.

Tony...I'm talking about PUSHING the air out the back...and...thinking you have an Eagle 10...and I think 8.3 and 6v92 have about the same cubes |

Tony,
I think it is the small Wanderlodge which uses a rear mounted radiator, BUT with their bigger coaches with the 8v92, they have a side mounted unit. Without knowing whether there is a high or a low pressure area at the exact point that the radiator is trying to draw in cold air, it is tricky to know eactly how efficiently it will work. The Thomas school bus has a rear facing radiator too, but also a small motor.
If you need to angle drive a fan for a side mount, why not use a miter box? I was going to do this on my MCI-8 and use the MCI squirrel cage fan gearbox and drive it directly from the crank pulley to another pulley on one of the cage shafts and attach the fan to where the pulley was. I would have to use a pillow block to support one end of one shaft and the other shaft would be cut off.

Our Newell has the rear radiator and the fan blows out to the back. Don't try sucking it thru like a front radiator.
BTW the 8.3 Cummins C engine has less power than the 6V92TA. Depending on year it will be between 240 and 300 HP. If it is an ISC then maybe 325 or 350HP. |

Gary
It Is an 8.3 ISC but It Is 300 HP and 863 ft lb of torque, but I had a Mechanic tell me that he could crank It up to 370 HP and 1200 ft lb of torque whenever I was ready I am just afraid that It would be 2 much for the MT-653 Allison, where Is your Aftercooler located, do I need to relocate
mine, and also do you know where can I locate a pusher plastic fan, and do you know If an electric fan will cool the aftercooler, that seems like the only option In my case.
Thank you very much.
