Ok, I decided that I am not going to buy an engine nor transmission until I can see/hear it run. It will cost me a descent amount more but once again, I am opting for security. I contacted a used bus sales company in Florida who is currently trying to find me a bus with the engine and transmission I want to put in the bus, an international DT466 and Allison MT643. They have other options of similar engines and transmissions but I am hesitant because I KNOW that these buses can fit a DT466, I am not so sure about other engines. So hopefully they can find me one soon. The main reason I could use one soon is because I was contacted by an individual who wants to purchase the Bristol BVW engine that I have in it now. I am completely willing to sale it to him but right now I cannot remove the engine without knowing it will be immediately replaced with another working engine. So I had to decline. However, if these guys come through with a bus with the engine and transmission I want, I will immediately sale the BVW to the gentleman and use the money to get the replacements. So this could end up working out but we will have to wait and see. The advantage I have to buying this bus is that for one, they will drive the bus to me to deliver it. Pretty awesome and saves me the grief because I don’t have a bus license to get it myself. Second, I will know the engine and transmission will run. That is really important to me as a bus with no working engine and transmission is scrap metal. I can’t risk being put in that position even if it does cost me a thousand more dollars. I will report if there is any more progress.
