Convert from 8V-92 to Series 60
I am considering swapping our 8V-92TA to a series 60. Our coach is a 1990 40' Liberty Prevost. The throttle is by wire, not sure if it is the same as series 60. Does anyone know if the HT750 trans will mate ? Does the Allison HT750 ATEC system mate with the series 60 DDEC 4 ? Will the harness from the DDEC 3 on the 8V-92 work with the DDEC 4 series 60 ? Is the 8V-92 rotation the same as the truck Series 60 ?
Lots of questions, not sure if someone here knows the answers or I need to check with Detroit Allison.
I have seen 40' Prevost with the series 60 so I assume the clearance is there. There is a panel that can be removed in the floor behind the bed that looks like it would allow the clearance.
I know we will get some "why don't you just trade up to a series 60". But we love the floor plan, Liberty quality, colors and real wood bleached oak cabinets. All the newer coaches seem to have the laminates. Just not what we want. Also we have a series 60 engine available.
The 8V-92 runs great and has had the 500 HP upgrade. It runs circles around the series 60 coaches I have tested. Just concerned with the MPG and would like to swap engines prior to some lengthy travel.
