Default 1989 d350 should i buy?

I am looking at this truck. In talking with the guy he says the only problem with it is the overdrive needing to be wired in since the swap. From the looks of the ad, do any of you diesel people have anything to say? Thanks.

I would buy it with the extra engine! swap the extra engine into one of your other trucks! lol

Those engines have the VE injection pump. not as great as the later 12v's with the p7100 injection pumps, but still a good pump that can be tweaked to make some decent power. (kinda like the 24v's the vp44 ain't as great as the later common rail and cp3 pumps, but it can still make some decent power)


I would swap a manual trans in there, but that's just me...
