Rebuild or Sell ??

[MIDNIGHT RIDER]

I am replacing the 6.9 in my truck. When I get it out, I will have the entire engine, Hypermax turbo, starter, bellhousing, clutch, T-19 4-speed, every wire, hose, slave cylinder, everything.

This stuff is in peak state of repair as I make my living with this truck a long way from the house.

The engine is getting weak; and on a long hill, I can smell blow-by from the crank-case.

It starts at the first crank and runs like a scalded dog, it just needs re-ringing, etc.

I haven't made up my mind whether to sell this package in its entirety, or rebuild the engine and find me a older 70's crew cab to put it in.

What would be a realistic country boy figure to expect if I rebuild the engine myself??

Do you bore these engines, re-line, or just hone and re-ring??

It probably has some over 400,000 on it.

I am afraid I will take a beating if I sell it because other than being worn, I have to keep it road ready.

where are you?

Most places, these engines used are a dime a dozen, and worth little. With that said, I have a truck that I want an engine like that to put it in.
