engine on Ebay
Pretty on the outside - if only I lived closer.
The gas bill from Maine to California (and back) would be a bit hefty.

I see I miss read the asking price after DJ called it to my attention, but my basic opinion is still the same, although the real asking price of $400 is much more realistic for what he has instead of $4,000 that I first thought. I'll just leave my original reply as is below so you know where I was coming from. I need to start keeping my glasses handy.
I would run from this one!! Asking price of $4,000 with no real history known and compression readings are low, likely an indication that an overhaul is needed. The fact that it was "government" rebuilt, always should be a red flag as not being top notch. This seller is looking for a SUCKER. We can offer a top notch complete, nothing left unturned, and balanced, rebuild, fan through bellhousing for around $5,000 with all rebuilt accessories including electronic ignition. We run ours in on the test stand, making all final adjustments, (timing, governor setting, etc.) prior to shipment. It is returned to the customer ready to install, start up and go, with warranty.
This is nothing more than a core engine with a few new items added to enhance appearance. No proof that it's a good rebuildable core. Pay 4 grand for this, add on another 5 grand for a top quality rebuild, that's $9,000, then shipping cost in addition. We can buy a brand new, well equipped, Cummins diesel with world wide Cummins warranty for in the $10,500 range. This seller is extremely off key with his asking price.

Well, not so much. I have some just like it I could take around $300 for. Personally I would rasther have a 100% rebuilt distributor with 24-volt electronic ignition installed, we can do that for around $400 with warranty. What I've found with the new ones, the bushings are reamed too large causing flop in the shaft from the get go. I sold several of these early on without checking, every customer had problems. When they came back and I checked internally, I found loose bushings and bad coils. I went through all the others to check them, bushings and coils had to be replaced in all. This is why I need $300 out of them, ours are now better than new.MSeriesRebuild wrote:Chunk wrote:MSeriesRebuild wrote: Thanks for double checking me on that one, I thought this guy must be a nut for sure.
