Over the years, Detroit has been the most successful engine
used in passenger buses.
Recently however, companies have strived to meet
ecological standards.
Most recently Detroit, that had the famous 6V92 in all
MC9s, now offer their 4 stroke series 60, 300-500 hp engines.
This is a great
engine, but it's fairly new; less than 15 years in popularity, and is also one
of the most expensive ones in the marketplace. They average between $18,000 -
$27,000.
Our research has shown the best bang for the buck in an MCI
upgrade is the 4 stroke series 50 or 60, 300-500 hp engines.
The Cummings Big Cam 400 has also made a lot of progress in upgrading buses
too...
Of course they have their other electronic
versions in the 400-500 hp class too.

We use the Allison 7400, BC400-B500 Transmissions because it's easier to retrofit in an MCI
9,
and the prices are the most competitive.
Prices can vary from $4500 for a used
up to $8000 for a rebuilt and $15,000 - $18,000 for a brand new.
