My 8v92 is on its (very) last legs, and I need to find a replacement engine. Does anyone have an extra in great condition with low miles on a rebuild? Any advice as to where to find one? I am in Denver.
I don't have any rebuilt at this time but you should check with Nimco
to see what they have for take outs, You can also check with a-z bus in cal.
Hope this helps

Check with Willy's Diesel in Nunn CO. good luck
Check with Nick at Nimco. We got our motor from him, used, several yrs ago. No problems at all.

My son-in-law (Ron Davis) has a 8v92 that he built himself that he wants to sell. I was thinking about putting it in our bus but our 8v71 is doing so good I don't want to mess around with the upgrade (except when I am doing 25 mph going up a mountain road).
I don't know what he is asking for it, I am sure it is negotiable and very reasonable and I know it is a good engine. Ron was trained as a diesel mechanic at a school there in Denver about 25 years ago and has worked for several years at the Smith Allison Diesel shop in Reno Nevada for about 7 years and at a bus fleet operation for several years and has worked for the state of Nevada as a diesel mechanic for the last 10 years. He knows his stuff and can give you the lowdown on his engine. He is by far the most productive son-in-law I have especially since we purchased our bus.
You can contact him (775) 753-8292 or email him at rmsma@frontiernet.net, my guess is he would install it if you could drive your bus to Elko Nevada. I emailed him last night and he asked me to give you his contact info because he wasn't able to post here since he isn't a member of this board.
I hope it isn't improper to post this reply, if so I apologize, I don't get anything out of the deal just trying to help a fellow busnut.
