I know the Olds 4.3 is the olds 350/5.7 Diesel with two cylinders chopped off. I also know there were thousands of leftover NOS engines around at one time, most of which went to scrap but they do pop up in quantity from time to time.

I've seen that one, and earlier version of that ad was a lot more money and listed all the work they'd done to it - reworked heads, etc.

I paid $2550 for this truck. 150,000 2-owner miles, everything works, original IP and injectors, ZF-5 that grinds reverse, only rust is surface rust on the roof, underside is so clean you could eat off it.

This was a FL/OK truck, has had a camper shell since new, carpet in the bed - best paint on the truck is under the carpet!
There's a LOT of completely worn-out 'work trucks' out there, but decent trucks that aren't 300K+ or heavily used aren't that common. My 'new' truck hasn't been run hard...
I just paid $2540 for a '90 F250 super cab, 2-owner truck, 7.3/ZF5, 3.55 LS, camper shell, a little rough around the edges but decent looking and runs well. I think I paid too much...

3-53N Detroit Diesel backed by a Spicer 3053A (From an M35A2) is the classic swap for these.
A 6.9 ought to work, if it isn't too long, and Garbee swapped a ZF-5 behind his 4BT. http://garbee.net/~cabell/
