Some companies/agencies did seem to be loyal to either the 8 or 6 cylinder engine. We know that NYCTA didn't seem to know that they 8V-71 even existed. In Westchester County (Now Bee-Line) and Liberty Lines nearly all of their buses had 8V-71 engines. Also Queens/Steinway Transit had a few GM Fishbowls with 8V-71 - and of course they then got the GM/Canada (T8H-5307A) and Grumman 870 with 8V-71 also and they were awesome. New York Bus Service had lots of buses with 6V-71 engines and a few with 8V-71 (including their GM/Canada T8H-5308A's).
NJ Transit (then Transport of New Jersey) new look Flxibles were incredibly fast also. The 40 foot models (both transit and suburban) had 8V-71 engines. They also had 30 and 35 foot models with 6V-71's.
