International is re-introducing gas engines in their heavy school buses. Uses an 8.8 industrial big block:
PSI 8.8L
Rated HP: 270HP @ 2600
@1000 RPM: 103HP
@2000 RPM: 215HP
Rated Torque: 565 ft-lb @ 1500
@1000 RPM: 540 ft-lb
@2000 RPM: 564 ft-lb
It may get worse mpg, but cost of maintenance / repair will be WAY lower.
