Default Another Classic Newell Coach Getting Repowered!

Decided to share about another classic Newell Coach getting an engine transplant. We can officially say good riddance to the original Cummins 555 or aka a triple nickel. This old girl is going to get a younger fresh power plant like either a Cummins 8.3 turbo or a 8.9 turbo coupled to a 3000 series Allison 6 speed. Possibly some suspension upgrades as well.

We will be documenting the progress for anyone interested. After the engine is done, the coach will be heading to Canada for new interior and paint. Unless a buyer comes along before hand and things could change. For now we will concentrate on the engine and transmission upgrade. Stay tuned as I will be uploading more pictures soon.
