If you google-----Bus talk Acf-Brill Continental, an article pops up about the bus under their baseball buses section. A man commented that he had a chance to buy it at a dealer outside of Wichita. He let it go due to potential problems getting Hall-Scott engine parts. His entry was about 2 years ago. If someone could contact him and find out the location of that dealer, maybe someone there would have knowledge of who bought it or where it went. Definitely a long shot, but it could be behind somebody's barn still.

I have some questions I own a 1951 37 rc converted to motorhome I'm trying to research Vin plate

Hey William, my name is Dewayne I am looking for anyone who knows what I have that I purchased a few years back and still have today. If I could figure out how to send you a picture I'll send you a picture. It is an old bus from the 40's or 50's that looks very similar to the Brill C-37-M but has some different characteristics to it. The bus has a REO emblem on the front but it is not original to the bus. It has ridged trim on the sides under the windows and about a foot to 18 inches from the bottom. It has the little back door on the side (driver's side) and a compartment on the bottom of the driver's side behind the front wheel.

If, the engine is repaired and put into a working Bus? That it would be better. Although projects are exspensive.

Good stuff. Inspiring.

I wanna be like this when I’m your age. I want to actually live until I die, I don’t want to deteriorate to the point where I’m simply alive.

Your awesome man! Keep up the great work.

I've been hearing it more as I've gotten older, motion is lotion. As you stop moving as much, you get stiffer, and it is more painful to move. It is ESSENTIAL to maintain flexibility, and movement, along with strength training! I still think you win the prize for coolest living room.

Yeah, I remember using that thing when visiting, it's BRUTAL!! I was sore in places I didn't know I had places the next couple days after trying to show off how many I could do.. Great seeing you keeping up with it!

That sure is a comically amount of ropes thanks for sharing

You are a absolute legend! Truly inspirational!

You Sir are just amazing ! Greetings from France and keep well !

Just when you thought you'd seen everything!

Cool video! I like your outlook on life.

Think I need to make one of those!

Think I'm going to try this.

yo you look great at nearly 80. keep it up!

good video

Letz go 👍

That was INCREDIBLY impressive

Inspirational! You look awesome. Very fit looking!

Keep it up William Nelson

Very cool and motivating. "Things that wear you down and things that make you stronger" is an amazing yet simple philosophy

i respect you

impressive!

Good luck here's to seeing you in another 20

You are a wealth of information. Thank you for posting.

Thank you for sharing sir.

This engine has the most distinctive sound. They used to be extensively in school buses

Imagine that with a slightly different combustion chamber design, maybe larger titanium valves, some port work, just stuff and average person can do, nothing crazy. A 750 Holley carb, lighter pistons, so the crank can be lighter, raise the compression to 9:1 or 10:1, or maybe 8.5:1 and add a turbo! Run about 14psi at a 3600-4k redline, regrind the cam, and have some beehive springs and retainers made, it could possibly rev to 4500 rpm, work on the exhaust side a bit, those long runners will put the power band at about 500 rpm to 1500, a new intake would need to be built, 8" similar runners going into a large plenum with a box for the carb, a triangle shaped plenum, with the car box bolting on to make it look similar to the original, to have the original look to it, with the turbo mounted above the head, with a inter cooler mounted over the engine block, without boost I believe 300 HP is possible, and with boost near 600, but the TQ is the real story! I figured if peak boost peak boost at peak TQ can be tuned, the TQ numbers can be 4-5 times the stock numbers, well in the 4digits very possible, I'd love to try converting a 2 stroke Detroit diesel to gasoline, have larger valves fitted, with better springs, and a can ground and possibly a variable cam timing, to allow the turbo to build the most pressure possible, I believe a aluminum head could be cast fairly easy, with it being nearly a solid billet of aluminum, give it a in head combustion chamber to compliment the piston chambers, dropping the compression to a gas tolerable compression ratio, about 9:1 with mount two injectors per cylinder at the bottom of the bore, to spray fuel into the cylinder, use two injectors to get a more fine injection of fuel more spread out. Vaporized more easily, modified valve cover, to allow spark plugs to be mounted and accessed through the valve cover, with a new one made, with Detroit engineering in place of diesel , maybe if a new head is made, go for multiple plugs per cylinder, maybe 3 but likely 2 per cylinder, maybe some testing can be done to have each ignition milliseconds after the other to get different combustion to happen, a 4-71 , 6-71 would be a good starting point!

The Audio is HORRIFIC!!!

Yeah, my mechanic warned me about that. I have always gone for the 3.0. It is a good tip for everybody to know.

What year??? I may have not heard

The 3.8 had head gasket problems, mine was repaired under warranty then failed again 15K mile later. Stay away from the 3.8.

Thank you for sharing this little known information William Nelson.

Love the ducks in the foreground, thank you for the video. Very interesting.

Get your fingers out of the way!

Bus engine?

toyota had a flat 4 cylinder that ran forever

U could have started it suckers!

I love this kind of history! Love hearing about people who have worked first hand with these motors back in their glory days. I really did grow up in the wrong era

I made a mistake when I made this video. There are actually 10 wheels on it----Bill

Someone came to a campout in a former Santa Fe transport bus they turned into a beautiful RV that was powered by one of these. It had been rebuilt sometime in the 70's by Crown coach in southern california. I do remember his being a DOHC setup though, had two cam drive shafts and it idled very low, in the 300 RPM range. May have been a different engine from the same company. He told me the company also did marine engines during the war. Really interesting engine.

Thanks for sharing William!!

Great to see people trying to preserve these pieces of History .

LOTS of specific BUS engines were built horizontal . Specially made for the job of being mounted under the floor . Sound was bad Bro .

Buy a mic muff

Hi William,, Thanks for putting this together as I found it rather interesting. My grandfather and Charles became good friends while at the University of Washington. I recall the family stories of Perelle, his work at Hughes and on the Hercules. I also heard stories of the challenges in working with Howard Hughes that resulted in Charles leaving and the big lawsuit. Thanks again.
