Looking at buying one. Guy is asking $400. Sounded fine but the truck has been sitting for a good 6 years. I heard it run for about 5 minutes. I looked down the intake and definitely saw some oily stuff in the keg Assuming its plenum oil issue.

In all reality, you could. There are some differences in the intake manifold, and the 95 or older will have EGR as well, but, essentially the same engine.

like has been said, prices all over. and no matter what I got, all new gaskets, seals, freeze plugs while it is out and easier access, would be a minimum I would do to a used engine before I dropped it into something else, along with a tuneup , water pump, thermostat---and add a timing chain set if the replacement engine is at or over 100K miles. especially since you will be right there anyway, if you are replacing "all" of the gaskets and seals... I just put a 136k mile 360 into my Durango this summer, bought off of CL for $200..... if history of engine is unclear these steps are even more important..... and pull a couple of bearing caps for inspection while pan is off. You heard the engine you're considering run already, that is a plus. miles isn't everything, how that engine was taken care of is more important
