Picked this up the other night. Cracked timing case, no fuel or air, but was only $250 with 167k on it. Now to find the project vehicle!  It’s currently between a 70’s F350, a 07 Super Duty, or a 70’s D600 farm truck. Thoughts?

 

Where are all you picking up these cheap  engines at?  

@jlbayes found it for me. It was 12 minutes from my buddy’s house. Luck of the draw I guess 

Out here a used Cummins engine are rare as hen's teeth and then cost a small fortune to just buy someone junk engine. Heck, they still sell truck up here for $15,000 and up yet. Man, I'd love to be able to find an engine like that to build for my own truck. 

Here's  good deals if you're near Denver, CO.

I was just looking at all of those links!  Almost had a lead on a pump this morning in Kersey, but it sold.

Here's another for a possible transplant into my old Ford.  I'd have to scrap the Dodge ECM and find a Cummins CM550 ECM to get it to run right as a stand alone with no other modules.

If anyone is looking for newer rims.

Now that is what I expect for prices about $1,000 to $2,000 for an engine. I can see $2,000 to $2,500 for a complete engine with ECM and fuel system intact.

Pump, lines, gear, and fuel filter acquired. Have a lead on a turbo, not cracked gear case, and dampener tomorrow as well. The 12 valve will rise again!

Geez, at those prices........ Anybody want my '96 12V??? I tried selling the whole truck but nobody wants to give me anything for it. You guys got my hopes up again!
