thinking about selling my 318 racing motor
to start off nothing wrong with it, i love the motor but i hate the gas consumtion.
it's a 318 with 60 over pistons high performance crank, mild cam. i run 112 octane in it. motor gets full synthetics oil and i use a 15 gal. fuel cell. service motor every 500 miles.
the motor has horse power and tourqe. but i am considering selling it and putting a cummins or a stock 318 back in it.
motor has maybe 10,000 mile tops. whats a good price for the motor, and also what do you guy think about a cummins in a 1/2 ton ram.
please don't give me no hell on the choice of me doing this motor like this, i though i was going to drag race my truck then i decided this truck can't handle drag racing.

.060? and to think, i was worried about taking my 360 .040!
to be honest with you, it may be hard to sell since you pretty much hogged the bore to and maybe beyond their limits. was the block tested?
what EXACTLY is a "performance crank"? why are you running 112 octane?
no offense but unless you've neglected to divulge other mods your power isnt much over a stock 318

motor so i had it bored .60 over with a perforance crank and cam with a timing chain. between tranny and motor another $2,000 most of the work was done by me. my truck runs had now i've had it on the drag track and it ran an 1/8 mile in 8 flat going an impressive 190 mph that was one time though 
Racing motor no, rebuilt yes, motor cant be redone without serious work and most would just trash and replace with another junker.
