Definitely an 8v71. The pitch is too low to be anything else.

@baul104 I totally agree with you

I think this bus is from the early or mid-80's...

On a trip to Seattle in 2005, or shutte bus a Gray line MC-9, sound like it was powered by a 8V-92.

Most likely a 8V71. The reason I think so is because the 92 series engine came standard with both a supercharger and a turbo charger. Buses equipped with the 71 series engine only had the super charger and not the turbo charger. If that engine was a 92 series you would hear a slight jet engine like whistle coming from the engine compartment.
Both engines are good but the 92 gives you the best of both worlds.

sounds like a 6V92 the idle is to slow and low pitch sounding for an 8V71. I rebuilt plenty 6V92Ts in MC9s. that air conditioner is going full tilt. you can hear the fan up by the front tire.

This bus does have the Detroit Diesel 8V71N engine with the Allison HT-740 automatic transmission.
My city doesn't have that many MCI MC-9 coaches anymore, including the MCI-102A3 coaches.
