Engine rebuild

Posted

So, I got my first quote back for rebuild....erf...gut punch...Anyone have a recommendation in Minnesota for a rebuild?  The first one back from the local Cummins rebuild is $12k+....or is that about right?  Budgets need to know...

 

Sorry in advance if this has already been discussed and I could not find it in a search.

    I personally would not take anything to to Cummins,  especially the ones around where I am at. It seems that they hired all the retards out there. The price is ridiculously high, if you can put the mo

    Pilot, whatever stand you buy...use the side of the engine to mount it (engine mount bolt boss'). Do not use the bell housing. Much more stable that way.

    I saw that truck yesterday on my way out of Denver, sets at a shop right off  I 70. late 40’s  Ford it looks like,   

     

    I wonder if it’s got a Cummins 

    It's a late 40's early 50's Ford(:spank: my brain fart!)with I believe a little CAT and an Allison. It also has rear steer and can side walk taking up two lanes. I'm hoping to get a close look at it parked somewhere during a cruise weekend in Golden.

    Brain fart!

    Pretty certain a Ford cab and fenders, but could be wrong. 

    Y’all are talking about the one at 5R Trucks huh. 

    Beauty of a truck, looks like 2.5 ton axles too. Easy to make all wheel steer.

    I found when we built the engine in my bride's dually that the gasket kit from Cummins was the most expensive part.  ($1,000-ish iirc)

    the bearings and hard parts were super reasonable.

     

    If you have mechanical ability, I would recommend building it yourself.  They are basic and stout.

    And building an engine is fun and super rewarding when you are towing your load over a hill and passing cars like you are empty...….
