It is a 4 speed automatic. They put them in school buses with a 12valve 6cyl cummins in front of it. It will handle 235 HP. So it will take all the 4bt can dish out and more.What's that allison transmission like. The AT542?
The tuned port did not have a bosch rotary pump hanging directly into burning flames. REMEMBER THIS if nothing else in this entire thread - You should not water wash an aluminum body diesel injection pump unless the engine is cold from setting or warpage can occur. So just imagine how much havoc a fire hose would have on a burning pump.Just for reference. I once bought a Chevy Tuned Port Injection motor that had been in a fire. Once I replaced the damaged components the engine ran perfect.
Thanks, google found that link for me.It is a 4 speed automatic. They put them in school buses with a 12valve 6cyl cummins in front of it. It will handle 235 HP. So it will take all the 4bt can dish out and more.

Is the inline pump aluminum?You should not water wash an aluminum body diesel injection pump
Melting temp depends on the grade, but 700-800 deg C normally. Hence the upper limit on EGT's.Just looked at the photos. Must have been one heck of a hot, big fire. Mine was not near so bad or hot. What is the melting temp of aluminum?
How did the fire get fed? I'm assuming the engine shut down right away.
