I just listed a 1985 MCI 96a3 conversion with a 8 V 92 turbo and Allison 5 speed. Overall good condition, no bunks. Check it out on rvtrader.

Hi Mike.  Do you have a link?  I didn't see it on there

Thank you for all of your input everyone.  I'll pass on the 83 but I've gotten a few new leads on rigs for sale.

Have you thought a later model bus with a 4 stroke engine,most of the time repairs on the older buses exceed the price of a later model conversion with a modern power train JMO

If you follow this forum enough over the last few years, it is getting more and more common that it is getting more difficult getting engine repair or service done on the 2 strokes. Same problem will be selling your conversion. Spend the money now, even though it will hurt more to purchase a shell or conversion with a 4 stroke engine. You'll  be glad you did down the road.

Andy, about a '95 DL3 is pretty much the best bang for the buck and will come with some very nice extras besides the 12.7L series 60 and Alison 500, such as a factory installed webasto and lift/lower options on the airbags. Maybe even r134 refrigerant in the OTR air. Several of us have those now and it makes a great starting point.
