So I remember this build from a long time ago! He is selling the engine! Here is the Craigslist add.

Someone's gonna make one hell of a truck out of that motor! Someone on here needs to buy that and start a build thread!

 

[88 Ford]

Yeah it definitely has some mods done to it! There are a few things I would have done differently but it seems like a good build.

Here is the build thread.

Wow! It's been a long time since Eric was on here posting about his engine. Sleeved down to 6.9, hypermax c-rings and gaskets......

Lots of love and $$$$ in that IDI.

I wonder if this was the sled puller that Mel sponsored

I doubt it is the same fella. Eric started this engine once (posted here 6 years ago, and same in the CL ad). Would be a shame for this engine to go to waste.

If I had the money I would honestly buy this engine. He has a lot of money into it. I would do a few things more to it but it is a good, well built engine...

If a guy at the age of 25 put $5,000 into a retirement fund rather than the engine that year,then by the time he retires at age 65,he would have over $108,500 after taxes based on a 8% return even if he didn't contribute anymore money to his retirement fund.

You only live once. Put a plow on the truck and double your money.

For the snow free people haul stuff around the state.

That's great man, I'm all about saving but I want to enjoy what I can before my body falls apart from working on equipment all day in the field
