Installation of a Detroit Diesel 6V92 engine would require extensive modifications, including an upgraded transmission and a higher capacity cooling system. A successful conversion is possible, but it will require skillful planning and installation, and this would be an expensive repower, particularly compared to the value of a 30-year old coach. The expense of the repower could easily exceed the value of the coach after completion. A rebuilt or used Cummins 555 or Caterpillar 3208 would reduce the cost considerably. But we recommend that as you evaluate your alternatives, you compare the expected cost of each to the value of the coach upon completion.
