I spun a main and the block is ruined. The truck is at Smith Power, and being a Detroit shop, they will put in a crate motor with labor being $6,000 to r&r. The $25,000 for the crate motor is out of my budget, so I'm looking to get pull out for a lot less. I could be wrong, but I can't imagine that Smith would r&r to an engine I bought, so I'm looking for another shop to do it. Any ideas?

Holst truck parts in Ucon, Idaho may have an engine. They are a salvage yard. I have bought a transmission from them and quite a few other parts. They are reputable, but I am sure there is a big gamble knowing what you are getting.Last edited: Nov 26, 2021

The best shop in SLC doesn’t work on Detroit nor likes to deal with people who can’t spend $30k for an engine. With that said, Seagull Diesel, Pete’s Diesel, Payson Diesel, Joe’s Diesel would be my first phone calls if I were you.

You could try Rush, but I think they suck but they have other locations so if anything goes wrong with the inframe they could warranty the work elsewhere.
I used to take our buses to United Diesel not to far from where you are now, didnt really have a problem with them, price was reasonable. -
