6v92 vs 8v92
The 83 PT40 had a 6V92TA. It was the Silver Series with 330hp. The
300hp Red only came in 1982 PT. The 5 speed Allison is a model
MT654CR. You will be happy with the 6V92 in the mountains as long as
you can be happy climbing at the 30-40mph you estimated. Even with a
3:73 rear that I had in mine they will struggle up long hills without
a running start, and most of the 83 PTs had 3:36 rears. You will find
yourself changing your driving style to go as fast as possible
downhill when you see an uphill coming. If you are going to be in
mountains a lot, save for an 8V model.
