Stay away from the Cat 3208 if you can! Get a Cummins, IH DT466, or at the very least a newer Cat 3116 or 3126. I have personal experience with the 3208, and it's best use is as a boat anchor.

I almost bought one of these old British DD buses a while back, but the engine/transmission/rear axle updates sort of derailed the whole idea. I was wondering at the time if a person could put a...

Re: Washington state
Go with a Cummins or International engine if possible, and try to avoid the 3208 Cat if at all possible. If it is near the end of it's life, it is not rebuild friendly
