Try T&S Marine in Crisfield, MD. They used to work on a lot of DDs, many of them were 8v71s. It's possible they might have a set still around.

I have a set of take out 8v71 ta with Allison m20 They have around 2000 hours. One engine I took the heads off put have all the parts. I repowered with Cummins.

Not sure what you’re looking to spend but an 871 long block directly from MTU will run you about $16k.

I never heard of anyone replacing a DD. Most rebuild them or upgrade to modern engines. What problems are you having?

[johnjen50]

I replaced mine with a long block because of water intrusion through the inter cooler. The cost of an in frame rebuild was about the same as getting a brand new block from MTU. I figured get the new iron and then I would know what I had and how it was maintained going forward.
