There was a set of Jakes on Ebay advertised for a 6V92.

That's ok.  I've got lots of time.  I'm here to learn.  I don't think I could do this myself.  I'd have to find a shop to install this and tune it correctly.  I could do the wiring from dash to rear and all that.  I've searched a bit online as to how to install, but haven't found enough to attack this all by myself. 

From what's been posted here, seems like it could be done for less than $2k which is cheaper than a Voith ECU rebuild

The going price for 92/71 Jake aluminium valve covers is $50 apiece.

There is a person on Ebay in Texas that advertises 8V92 jake take offs from military 8V92's complete for $499 with free shipping and valve covers $150 extra. Maybe he does a package deal. If I could find someone on the east coast fairly local to install them I would probably buy a set for my 8V92.
www.govliquidation.com just had a large lot of brand new valve covers in Ohio that went to bid.
