Gentlemen:
88-42]
Enclosed is the quote for the Cummins BCTA8.3 automotive
diesel engine as requested by Derrell Webb of your department.
This quote includes all necessary options free tan to flywheel.
The following is anestimate of the installation of the
above engine. In a much as this 1 of engine
manufactures, the only reasonable methodof conversion
this is by
time and materiel. It is felt that a good figure to shoot for
would be around E4500. This would include the purchase of the
new clutch and pressure plate. It should be noted that this i
an estimate only and not a firm commitment. It is thought that
the above figure is probably more than will be rquired and the
total will be less. However, there could be some unforseen
problems and could require more.
Thank you for letting us quote in this matter and we
are loking forward to your order.
Respectfully(
