Is This A Good Deal On An Engine
 

im looking at this engine online. they want $3,500 for it. with how it is now, how much would need to be changed besides the exhaust manifold.


Factory Warranty Repaired Cummins 5.9L ISB TurboDiesel Engine 1998-2002.

Originally set up for RV application (see full option spec below) 275HP

CPL# 2451
NO CORE CHARGE!

This engine was going to be used in a racing project for which funding never materialised. The engine has been sitting on its original pallet in a climate controlled warehouse for the last couple of years. It is in great condition

Make sure it's not a 53 block. Price seems right to me if it's an honest deal but I haven't priced any ready to motors in a few years. I know new this motor runs just a little shy of 6G but that a complete long block with turbo.

Doesn't look to be a 53 block...you'd be able to see it in those pictures.

the guy said he has looked all over it and cant find any 53 casted on it anywhere. im figureing a around 600 to go pick it up.

thats not bad, that what the local junkyards around here charge for those 24valves so all in all, its right on the money.:U:

well its official. i got thee engine for $2,500. i will be going to florida to pick it up at the end of this week or the begining of next week.

where abouts in florida?

ocala fl. around 910 miles away from me.

aw snap.... you'll be in 2001Shortbed's neighborhood...... when you hop on I-75 and haul tail south be ~ 30 min from me at one point and time.....

ya ill hit it for awhile

you should get off 82 and on to 75 in Tifton GA and once you go south when you get to Valdosta that's 30 minutes from me...... be safe on the drive and if it is next week if you are near and need anything feel free to give me a shout. if the end of this week i'll be at the beach working on my non-existant tan....

thats where ill hit it is tifton. if i dont have to work at my side job it will be friday i beleive.

well i'll prolly be sittin on the beach with a cold one when you are close to coming through..... and the cold one being my wife......:argh:

well i made it back to home with the engine safely. the engine has not been ran since it was rebuilt over two years ago. i have to change some stuff around to make it work but all in all it should work fine. im starting on the transplant monday morning.

keep us posted and pics are great

May want to pull each injector and put a dab of Oil on top of each piston to prevent a dry start
