Looking for an engine, again.

[RLDSL]

Might want to check this thread over in the marketplace.
If that engine survived the wreck, which it sounds like it did , that was a pretty sweet running engine before hand. That thing sounded nice. Might be a bit of a trip to fetch it though, he's in western IL.

I pm'ed him, thanks. I really feel more comfortable buying from a member here than on craigslist or anywhere else for that matter.

yeah, with 89 origional, maintained hours, it may be the newest oil burner I ever get a hand on. I am not sure how the D60 front would like an 1800# engine and the plow I intend to install. Can a truck endo upon hard braking????

A few more local listings to look at. Why do I have the feeling they are engines that did not lead the good life?

my only concern is how long did the motor run while the truck was inverted.
remember he said he was trapped inside for 45 mins.

this one would be a decent candidate. you can hear it run before it's pulled.
do plan on changing out the oil pan though.

I will have spares. I also pm'ed Jared. He simply does not have the time or ability to facilitate the extraction of his engine. I was contemplating on paying freight charges for a low mileage engine owned by a fellow OB. I am sure something will come along.

I may call this guy. The ad says it came out of a '97 van. Was there an overlay of IDI's in vans that I don't know about?

that's a PSD motor.

Thats what I thought. Maybe he got confused with non intercooled as opposed to non turbo.

$600 + shipping, and my IDI is on its way to your house.

Take a sound clip for ya. Runs so well, I almost don't want to pull it.

83651 for origin zip.

83 6.9 for its spec sheet. if the block has any heat in it at all, fires right over and purrs, no GP necessary.

Edit: Act quick before I say $750.. worth every penny of a grand... and it will "down" the truck for awhile.. not looking forward to that, but I do so want 6.6....

Thanks Clydes! I am looking at highpsi's thread in the marketplace as of now. I think I could get to his house and back in one day and I will have to borrow a truck to do it. If this course of action does not pan out, I will definitly consider.

He doesn't seem to be online too often, anyone know how to give him a ring?

I am hoping the IDI gods and the money gods align and bless me with something good.

Though shipping might hurt a lot, 2800 out the door for a reman long block, done the right way in my opinion, out of Portland, Or. Def would go that route and have it shipped anywhere instead of buying one for 3500 local.
