A remand t-case is somewhere between 700-1000. Might get lucky and find one at a salvage yard for a couple hundred bucks

Just like an unmodded any other engine, 6.5s do have power once you make some mods, mine is plenty capable of pullling anything I wish up to including 18K# of my backhoe & g/n trailer.

That is getting a little long in tooth if abused at all, how much $$$ we talking

without going into the engine with just bolt on mods/reprogramming you are good for about 300 Hp at crank, not huge # but respecatable power, a lot depends what your buddy is planning to do with the vehicle as to how much additional $$$ to put into it
