That is a military engine one will earn their money converting it over to a bus engine one thing the cam is wrong for the gear driven alternator it's been for sale for a couple of months it has fresh paint the manifolds and exhaust are painted

Do you think it's actually new or a rebuild?  If it's like my military engine there are no drives at all on the cams, you can install a regular compressor type spline drive.

It's probably rebuilt why else would a new Sliver 92 be painted alpine green ? it sure wasn't shipped that color
