New Project

[trreed]

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.

 

https://denver.craigslist.org/pts/d/98-cummins-i6-pump/6739724078.html - if this one is still for sale when I'm in Denver in 2 weeks I'll be trying to buy it to make my 78 a Fummins.

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!
