I stopped at Silver Star Recycling in the Sacramento area on July 5.
they had a 617 out of an 84 with 189000 miles for $800.00. I was
looking for one for the 85.

funny how the ones in the junk yards are high milage, and the 123`s
being sold on E-Bay are mostly low milage.

Iam thinking I might go with metric motors for one, pricy, but 4 years
and a 50000 mile waranty. built to factory spects, glow plugs, new
injectors, and inject pump. probably pull the engine next week, and
drive down to the L.A. area and exchange it.

hope you find one.
Charlie
