Hi I had a brief career driving for Greyhound in 1968. I did have some of it driving a 4501 Scenic with the 8V71 engine and 4 speed Spicer trans. I ran out of the Chicago terminal and left on my own accord due to the not very good runs for new drivers. I still think its a cool bus and liked driving it. That two cycle engine is made to runn at higher RPMs(anything below 1800 and it was lugging) but the company wanted us to keep the engine speed low going thru towns as it sounded more like you were speeding when it was running up around 2100 RPMs. This posting brought back a good memory. Thanks
