If it's not an RE it probably doesn't have a 8.3l

It is a cat 3116TA-215 with the engine in the rear so when we’re converting we will have to work around that a little bit as it takes about 2 feet in the back. It was a church bus.
The rust is definitely visible, it’s eating away at the corners of the stairs. The engine has a lot of surface rust on it but the guy was saying that’s just from sitting for awhile. We’re thinking about offering 2,200.
Only other issue is that the height of the bus is about 6’2” so with our conversion we might want to raise it, not sure yet. We’ve looked at some short busses with the roof being at 6’5” which is a little more do-able sense we’re tall.
