Thoughts? $5 more than normal head bolts. Planning to just go with a Felpro head gasket.

i'd run em.

[M4wdFab]

i like how they explain 90 degrees

[etk300ex]

incase the bolt stretches here a few extra lol

[mr.mindless]

The 90* is straight from cummins! Crazy, yessir.

bitch to get past the cowl and core support at the same time, eh?

Bring back memories, Mike?

I think the biggest pain was disconnecting the motor mounts from the block to free up some wiggle room. Not much room to get in there on either side.

changing a cummins cam shaft in a 24' garage is way more fun, come on. 

[mr.mindless]

camshaft was child's play level easy compared to R&R the complete motor! It's like changing a transmission in 571, except heavier.

I am at a fork in the road.

I have an opportunity to buy the following for $1500:
97 4x4 auto single cab
291k
Pretty rusty
P-pump, vac/steering pump, timing cover swapped onto a 1st gen
Good mud tires on stock wheels
Driveshafts and t-case gone
Motor supposedly rebuilt, original owner who would know when and other details has passed. Motor has zero oil on it, so seems plausible.
Comes with a 180hp p-pump that the #6 barrel sticks when hot.

I got an offer for my motor for $800 complete.

I plan to put $300 worth of gaskets and head bolts on any motor before it goes in.

Yard motor that I can give someone hell if it doesn't run good? Or risk the unknown but good looking motor and potentially be into the whol ordeal for <$500 after scrap/partout.

Bahhh!!!

97 auto will not be a 215 pump remember. I would go with the truck you can drive plus scrap and other parts you can get out of it

[Wingman]

It's only money (and time)...
