That bus is just a few miles from our house. I drive by it when I go to Conifer a couple of times a week.

They must have just moved it in in the past few weeks.

I doubt that an 8V71 is set at 475HP

Will be glad to take a look at it if anyone wants.

John 370 hp was the largest 8v71 Detroit had on the market for automotive use and that was a 8v71tta,marine use and miltary that is another story they turn out some hp.

Higher horsepower is doable.. Just not very streetworthy. You'd have to have a whole lot of cooling to make those very high HP 8V71s work for the street. More than you would ever get out of an Eagle.

I agree that this bus is probably in the 370-375 range instead of 475.

Oh yeah... we knew. But several of us did question the 475hp number.
