Inside A School Bus

[Greenleaf]

Here is a pic of my current project. A 1989 BTA in a '89 model year Bluebird TC2000 This bus is kept under lock and key here in the shop and is generally the backdrop for most of my inside shots of truck projects.



I have performed some minor tweaks to this engine. Turbo/injectors/pump mods/head work etc. etc. The driver says it really scoots now and yes, it blows smoke upon demand Oo. :-laf



I keep finding excuses to have to "test drive it"

Scott,



Is that the bus that has the piece of plywood laid across two seats, halfway down the aisle?

Scott, do you think you could come up here and tweak my 24v TC? I needs some more pep, it tops out at 59 mph! Or just remove the govenor! Please!? :-laf I'd do it but I'd get fired!!!

You thinking Edge or Banks Six-Gun? We will have to have the FASS no doubt. Pick up the new turbo too and I'll be over to hook you up bro!!

Ya know... with that top mount turbo and the high mount intercooler... . it might hurt to do it on the engine... thank goodness for the plywood across the seat... better if it's padded :-laf

Phil just had to hit that one outa the park! Wow



Scott, I drive a 95 International Blue Bird, it is such a dog! I'm guessing the transmission is going. I mail post cards to the next intersection to let them know I need ten minutes to get through. I wish you worked for my company and bombed my bus!!
