Price for #9?

Starting at $5000 seems a little out there considering condition.

They're Cummins engines and Allison transmissions. Why would you need to know anything more than that?

Good Questions....

I have zero idea about which model transmission and engine. Most of the 44 passenger BlueBirds appear to have the same Cummins engine but the valve cover doesn't specify a model.

I'll try to find out.

Find one with a representative engine and post the VIN: one can get the engine type from that. For the transmission types, the parts department can tell you from the VIN (at least the International guys can; presumably the other manufacturers can as well).

Bluebird dealers can do the same for you with Bluebird buses.

Post pictures. Someone here will tell you which engine or transmission is pictured.

As far as the cummins go, the difference between an 8.3 and a 5.9 is pretty plain. If you look at the corner of the front engine cover where the injection pump mounts, the 8.3 has a radiused corner the 5.9 has a 45deg chamfer.

Also, the injectors on the 8.3 are on the same side of the engine as the injection pump. On the 5.9 the injectors are on the opposite side from the injection pump.

That's only true of the 12 valve. On the ISB, the injectors were put on the pump side of the head.

I stand corrected.

I guess the shape of the front engine cover is the best "tell tale".
