I have a couple of diesel mechanic friends so its no problem, the engine is a 1996 so no trouble at all getting parts, the 8.3 is a very common engine so parts are very reasonable, they are a wet sleeve block so we just have to pull the old liners and install new ones. No machining involved reboring.
This is one reason I wanted to update the engine, the old 555 cummins weren't a good engine to start with and parts are hard to get and very expensive.
