Welcome, Ed!
 
I wont be much help in the 'where to get a new turnkey' dept; altho if i had to 
replace my engine today, i would probably look at busdepot longblocks... boston 
engine is another name that comes to mind... i got one of the last Raby kits, 
he is only doing turnkeys anymore and they are $$$$$, altho i think headflow 
masters still does longblocks. its a pretty common topic on thesamba, you might 
do some homework there.
 
but, are you sure what youve got isnt any good? maybe all it needs is some top 
end love? my camper has a clunker engine, i drive the heck out of it and it 
wont quit- 500mi round trip to Fredericksberg =) just get AAA premium and youre 
good for a 200mi tow =D
 
perhaps others will chime in on some local contacts.

Hi group, I’m Ed Dhayer from Livingston Texas and I have just become the 
benefactor, in October of this year, of a 73 sliding roof bus named Libby.  She 
is in much better shape considering her years vs mine, but she has indeed 
developed a affinity for new parts.  I spent the entire day with her yesterday 
adding her latest Fedex delivery.   So now it is time to look at her motor.  
She hasn’t been on the road in years according to her previous owner so I have 
concerns about her engine.  I want to be able to drive her and now be worried 
she would have a problem and be struck on some road far from home.  So TCB gang 
who would you trust to do a turnkey job on a Libby?  Oh by the way she had a 
transplant sometime in the past and she is now powered by a 75 motor.
