You could easy do that, yeah. The manifolds are factory for 75-78 bus engines. I don't particularly like them, but they will work fine. Just add your own custom tubing to the ends and your all set. _________________ 1800 Type 4 Berrien 295

This is the system I made from factory T4 heater boxes cut down to the cores. Then just a header I found for 20 bucks (dented and rusty, this 20 bucks), a bend, and stinger. I got the baffle and 3x5 suppertrapp for the end of the stinger...

When my manual came out in 1992 it was Jack Raby, Joe of Oregon Performance , FAT Performance and me with my manual up against the T-1 guys.
They had no clue as to what a T-4 was, all they knew was it burned out in heavy loaded buses.
My first drive, the clutch holding power was what I noticed first, then the constant torque.
Now I am not alone on the T-4 mission, I got you guys. Ha!!!!
Like Jake and I once said after debates after debates, " you just have to drive one to understand ". _________________ email: [email protected]

this is a little trail buggy i built a couple years ago. had a turbocharged type 4 1700, 3 rib, and 228 mm flywheel. i had to do some clearancing to get the flywheel to fit and modify the flywheel for short trans input shaft bearing location.
with the low gearing and large flywheel you couldn't hardly stall the engine if u wanted to, i accidentally took off in 3rd a couple times. it sure wasn't like 1st but ive never had another buggy that would do that |
