Don't forget in a Stagecoach, also known as Greyhound Bus. When I was in the bus industry, the gray dog was running 6v92 turbos, with 5 speed Allison trans. Gutless Wonder until get them wound up. Outfit I ran for used 8v71 with 4 speed gear drive, later 5 speed. Had some 1986 models with 8v92 turbos with 5 speed. Those were fun to herd down the road.

Said in his 35 years building engines he only had 1 run away.
