The ISX is a smaller engine than the series 60, but why would you want to make the change?Jack
Not offering mechancal advise here but, the 2011 MCI E4500 and all of the MCI's will have this engine(ISX) as standard equipment so it's not out of the relm of possiblities.
I just happen to have a spare 60 series from a MCI 4500. If interested drop me a note.JimH
"I am just a bit of an engine head, and if I am going to customize a coach, I'm starting with the engine "More power, more power! Just like our hero Tim the tool man Taylor says. BK
Why not install a souped up 14 liter Series 60 if you want more power? It would be a lot less work. I envy somebody who is in the position to buy a relatively modern coach and then install a totally different engine. I would love put a larger Series 60 in my bus, but what I have works so I can't justify it.
The choice is yours and you have to do what works and what you want in the long term. I do however hope you do go with the CUMMINS. I own stock in them.
If you need help Sonnie Gray is installing a ISX and a auto 12 speed in a Eagle for a friend of ours right now and I am sure there is more room for the ISX in the 4500 than a Eagle with a drop box and a boggie axle with a 6v92 ,btw he wanted a C-15 also but the ISX was a better buy for him. Bruce installed a ISX in a older MCI but he added a 1 foot or better to rear on his good luck

All my friends call me that But I think it would be an awesome coach with an opened up ISX600 installed. Re programed to bypass all the emissions stuff and run an opened up muffler, and reset it to 650hp
Did I see Don Fairfield hiding in the corner looking on. Bet he will have to top this soon.uncle nedwe will alcohol injection in stead of nitrous
