Hey guys, as I posed a few weeks ago I'm looking to build a 2nd gen 12 vavle for my ford F250 in the future and already have an engine complete with all accesories but has a hole in the block due to what I think was a rod cap coming loose.
Either way, came accross another engine in my area and wanted to know if it might be a good candidate.
Supposedly it came out of a cabover truck, only has 70k miles on it but the the truck caught on fire so the engine was pulled. The guy wants $850 for it but doesn't know what year it is.
So, should I even look at it or should I still just look for a good shortblock and possibly a head since mine might be bad?
If you guys think I should check it out, how can I tell what year it is?
Thanks,
-Rob
