Perkins 4-108 rebuilt suppliers ?

I am boat hunting and have come across a possible boat but the engine a Perkins 4-108 needs major attention.

I was thinking of dropping a rebuilt engine in but can not find a supplier. Does anyone know of a supplier of rebuilt Perkins 4-108 engines in the USA?

you can hit up a ford/New Holland Farm implemment dealer, the 4-108's were used in many machines.
Or, Try a Caterpillar Engine, Forklift/Construction Equipment dealer, they now own Perkins.

Perkins Pacific has hundreds of them. See, e.g., 4-236 Perkins Reman Engine, 3-152, 4-108, 4-236, 4-236t:eBay Motors (item 220397534725 end time Jul-15-09 14:21:41 PDT)
