Prevost engine swap possible?
I'm looking at a used Prevost that's a beautiful unit in nice condition, but it's got the old DD 8v92 motor, which I'm really leery of. It's got a rep as a dripper and fuel guzzler. What are the chan...

Yes the 2 cycle GM's love the fuel but unless you are putting 100K miles/year on it... you can't be serious about swapping. Because of the higher pressure on the crankcase you get more oil out the slobber tube/crankcase vent. You can make a catch bucket out of a gallon jug with steel wool in it to catch the oil and yes you could even recycle it. I have a 8v71 in a dump truck that's very dry (agree valve cover gasket/alignment) and they are still fairly inexpensive and easy to rebuild... used to be $100/hole. A complete OH kit for a 8v92 is only $3000.
