RustyMay or may not be...'84-'87 Regencies had MCC chasses with the wretched GM 8.2L. Regencies on the Gillig Chassis usually have a Cat 3208 at 250 or 300 HP (one has a Cat 3116). Regencies on the Spartan chassis usually have the Cummins 8.3L at 240, 250, or 300 HP.
IIRC, the BMC has an Cummins 8.3L on a Bluebird chassis.

Nick CagleThe BMC was built for only 3 years starting in 94. It only came in one length 37ft. It was only built on a Spartan chassis with a Cummins 8.3. The BMC will be some what heavier than a Regency due to the steel verses aluminum construction.

chrism57show with all that said a barth regency with the Spartan chassis with 8.3 would be fairly close to a bmc ??? chris

Mogan DavidYeah BB is somewhat heavy... Like an armored personnel carrier. After looking at a few old BB (more primative than Corey's) I think I'd pick that if I were you.
