I agree, but the TA had a different version of a Detroit Diesel 8 cylinder. The 6L-71V8 which was used in the Blitz rebuilds in the 5100 series on Staten Island, the 5500 series used in Staten Island as well and the 9000 series Flxible's. I noticed that they sounded similar to the other buses at the time but slightly different and these buses had used the V730 transmission which became the standard here with all of the newer RTS's and Grumman 870's. These buses were cool and that particular engine is one of my favorites as well as the 8v-71 and 6v-92TA and Series 50/60. I am really not a fan of the Cummins series. I saw a Bee-Line Flxible yesterday with one and it sounded horrible and had lots of smoke also.
Peace
DaShawn
