You should check your spelling before you post ad's on C-list, lol
Cool bus though, i've always wanted one of those
Could also add
3800 (C) series chassis
The builder of the Body? usually Thomas or Blue Bird.
The Ratio of the rear axle as this is fairly important when it comes to conversions like this. (what rpm at highway speed)
The engine is a DTA466 Turbocharged and I'm pretty sure they had an air-air after cooler or what you would call an Inter cooler to cool the air coming from the turbo. Big difference in power if there is no after cooler.
If there is no after cooler the engine is called a DT466.
Your craigslist ad says 1100ftlbs of torque. This is not true.
They never put the high torque engine in the buss chassis so the most it would be is 230hp 620ftlbs
Even if by some off chance it is a 270hp high torque they are only rated at 800ftlbs
Its a school buss so chances are its the lowest rated engine with the lowest torque.. Its a buss not a 5ton truck.
So depending on what Bosch injection pump is on it depends on its ratings.
Most likley 195hp and 520ftlbs of torque with the Bosch MW style pump.
Don't mess around if the puff limiter to much lol easy to see the people who have as they just pour out black smoke.
FYI if that is a freshly rebuilt DTA466 those sell for about 12,000 if it was a proper rebuild. If you go through the right channels you could get 4 grand for the engine easily.
IF it runs properly and was rebuilt by a licenced mechanic and you have receipts for the parts put into it.
Most of this is if I remember it correctly so don't quote me on it. I worked for international for a handful of years as a licenced heavy duty mechanic.

Don't mess around with any of the settings on the injection pump as you REALLY need to understand how this type of fuel metering system works.
You always always always take off the turbo inlet pipe and have a good sturdy block of wood or something heavy to cover the turbo inlet just in case it tries to "run away" A C02 or dry chemical fire extinguisher works too.
but if you don't know don't play with it. I wouldn't worry about a little smoke at start up. That's pretty normal for that engine.
i get what your saying so i shoud more than defanetly turn anything that turns and wait for the performane to come out of it.
hm what would every outher furry do. lol
