Found a FC35RB for sale in Wi.
While driving around yesterday I saw a BlueBird for sale near Adell
Wi., Owner says its a 83, he installed a Cummings motor and a different Allison trans., has the same horse power as the Cat but says this motor works much better in it. He had to push the center of the frontend out about 4 inches to make it fit and there is alot more room under the dog house. Very nice guy but could not show me the inside because he was leaving for a wedding, it looks to be in OK shape but not great. Just thought someone here might be interested in the fact it had a different motor. Jeff August 1980FC35RB Plymouth Wi. |

Checked it out, nice install, 5.9 250 hp electronic 2000 model year, 600 series
Allison, claims 10 mpg and better power than Cat. Too bad he wants low 50s for it. I suggested he might have a little resistance for that figure. Needs paint bad, other wise is OK.

I want to know the preformance aspect.....- woody at ft bragg nc 81 fc with 444 gears and more stuff trying to get it down the road ....... -- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Mike Hohnstein" <MHOHNSTEIN@...> wrote: > > Checked it out, nice install, 5.9 250 hp electronic 2000 model year, 600 series Allison, claims 10 mpg and better power than Cat.

Hey Guys,
Wanderlodges are a very heavy bus for the 5.9 Cummins. Remember that is the same engine as you find in the new Dodge Pick-up trucks. Also, the 545 Allison is basically a GMC turbo 400 transmission. It has no locking torque converter, so you will loose power to slippage down the road. I owned a 5.9 cummins / 545 Allison for a while. Nice engine for an empty school bus doing local driving. I would be worried about a fully loaded Wanderlodge going cross country! Cummins made a bigger 8.3 liter (straight 6 cyl) engine. That would probably do fantastic in a Wanderlodge! Probably would get much better mileage than our old 3208 cats.

You got a 2000 year model, same as the geezer used. I'd want the 6 speed but at
the very least you need to use the 600 series. The 540 ain't gonna get it. He swears that it gets 10, that's enough to justify doing it even if it ain't as strong.
