There are 2 below-the-floor differences between E7s and E8s which may have a bearing on the project. E7s had separate fuel and water tanks between the trucks. Production E8s had one tank, which had an interior wall separating the fuel compartment from the water compartment, and also had 2 large, transverse-mounted air reservoirs (one fore, the other aft of the fuel/water tank). The side doors to the engine rooms also were in different locations along the carbody, which resulted in different locations for the stirrup steps under these doors as between E7s and E8s. I'm not sure if there was a difference in the distance between truck centers from one model to the other.
