with a dented oil pan like that I'd only give him 500$ at most for it

Since you can buy one that is guaranteed to run for $500, that's quite a deal.

Thanks for the laugh, Henry!

HA! his engine cleaning went as far as wiping off enough sludge buildup to find the engine stamp.

HMM, yeah.
Then the one for $1500 in my local CL with 82K is a steal.

Buy mine instead

Hell... I can sell you my "spare" 617 out of an '81 SD for say $1500...

I "THINK" it works


Seriously, you can find these engines for a couple hundred dollars.

Not in the Portland area. Most everyone who owns them think they're worth their weight in gold. I've sold some parts for diesels here on CL for some good profit.
I'm just going to piece my engine back little by little.
