What kind of engines? Like a semi? Cats?
Wakesha and Cat for the most part. There are few others but mostly those. We are currently in the process of rebuilding a 3306 between 3 of us. other groups have 333 or 3306 cats and I think there is one Wakesha but not certain.

But the pay is just so wonderful. haha Company vehicle, Company tools though I wont abuse them much, just some. although a new pickup isnt on my mind for awhile. I like my old junker of a power house. few mods here and there will fill those money gaps.

Sounds like a hell of a project truck. Just look at those few things others have mentioned before saying "I do" don't forget if he only wants $700 for it, you can probably talk him down another hundred or two if he doesn't realy understand what he has. don't tell him stuff he doesn't already know. His loss your gain if it works out alright. Get us some pics if you pic it up.

Decided not to buy it. Don't have the cash for it (I spent my money on a bb 460 that is going into one of my Ford Rangers) and I don't want something with 400,000 miles. He didn't want to come down either. So, I said screw it. I have better stuff to buy then that. If he comes down I might. I might call him again, and see what he says. Thanks for the help

mines a 93.

that trans would run near 2g's for rebuild here in the Phoenix area.

I would hesitate , bur for 7 bones, you would have a first gen block to build

does that have an intercooler? some didnt...
