Where can I find a used/rebuilt running 8v71 engine asap? I'm from ND and can't seem to find anything online.

Jack Conrad has a running takeout 8V71. I believe that he's only asking about $500? That would be without bell housing and related accessories. Jack C will see this post and respond. If he stll has the engine?? The engine is listed on YouTube...I'll have to post a link. later. May be able to 'searce' for 8V71 JR |

There's a rebuilt 6-92 Turbo in Cortland, NY that I didn't buy last winter. I could probably track down a phone number for it if I really put my mind to it. "Terry" is the guy's name but that doesn't narrow it down a lot. Let me know if it is worth looking for the phone number.

How much work is involved in doing the swap? I haven't got a lot of time at the moment so i'm looking to just get it back on the road until I can build something a little more modern. Do you know how much he was asking?

Where in ND are you located? I live in MN now but used to live near Michigan, ND and I'm up that way periodically.

YmeHP -Just a minor detail - what bus make/model are you in need of an 8V71 for? Reason I ask is that one from an GMC will not work in an MCI , unless you want four speeds in reverse. FWIW & HTH. . .

Jack, Very interested, please send me an email at n_cichos@hotmail.com or pm me through the board with details. We will have to arrange payment and I suppose I will have to list it with Uship. The bus is a '78 MCI MC8. |

Try calling a guy named Rodney Monk in Fargo. his number is 701 seven nien nein seben tewe for ate.
He probably doesn't have one handy, but he has more connections than AT&T has phone lines. If there is a decent one nearby, he'll know about it.
Tell him Dallas told you to call, and no, you aren't a bill collector. LOL
