Hagerty's when it sold.

About a day and a half if you apply yourself.

Running, but on fire when parked?

With you, I'm never quite sure. Mrs. Deuce might kill you, or she might randomly decide it's her new daily driver.

This would be the perfect vehicle for your commute. Seriously, you could park this anywhere downtown Chicago with a yellow strobe blinking on top, and maybe a cone by either bumper. Leave it there for 8+ hours and no one would even think twice!

9.3L I6. The engine would run from the radiator all the way back to the dinette. I'd have to sit in the shower to reach the gear lever. 
I could give Bonneville a run after installation. I wonder what the land speed record for a bus is?

Yeah but just think. You wouldn't need to mess with a heater.

As a note, that 9.3L is most likely a Maxxforce 9, which is just a modernized DT570. So it's big, but not totally massive. IIRC, they're only a few inches bigger than a DT466 externally

No kidding.

So, only a 12"-14" dog house to get it behind the grill. I would have to sit in the dinette rather than the shower.

Hmm... I wonder how much of that dog house could be built into the dash and such?
Now at $8100
In reply to rslifkin:
Most actually. The biggest problem with the DT family is height. They are tall engines. At minimum, I'd have to build a custom oil pan to clear the front axle. The other issue is weight. A DT466 is almost 1500 pounds dry. I'll probably go with a 12 valve, 5.9 Cummins. Lighter, smaller, almost as powerful, lots of transmission options, and I can buy a donor truck for next to nothing.
In reply to Toyman01:
That works too. But if you're going lighter duty than the DT466 or Cummins C engine (the 8.3 I6), why not go with a T444E / 7.3 Powerstroke? It's only a bit over 900 lbs dry, compared to about 1100 for the Cummins 6BT. And being a V8, it should be easier to package compared to the longer I6.
