It DOES look to be somewhat of a rarity. OK, duck now. There may be folks here throwing stuff....
Taking that into consideration, I probably would look more to using a Cummins 6BT or DT466.
Should be able to find SAE bellhousings for both fairly easily.
All of the crew boats and shore rigs I have ever been on were using Cummins or Detroits.
Any one of the 3 will have ample torque, but all exc. the Cummins will be considerably heavier.
And marine manifolds/pumps/coolers/electrical should be relatively easy to find.
