If I were you I would seriously consider the mighty big cam.
I think the price of the in frame kit went up. It used to be around $1,000 now I think it's maybe $1200 to $1400?
That will buy you exactly one nut on a Caterpillar engine. The bolt is extra. And if you need real parts for the caterpillar you can always re mortgage your house.
Which old engines??

In all honesty I would go broke faster if ( GOD Forbid ) I had a Come-a-long under the hood ... because my rates are based off of weight.. I'd be a broke joke because I couldn't make any coin having to run skinny so I could make decent time to get em kicked off my trailer before they were old enough to vote
You'll know it's me passing you Dino.. cause I'll flash my belt buckle and chicken lights at you when I pass you...Feedman, Rideandrepair, OLDSKOOLERnWV and 2 others Thank this. -

$750 for new custom built injectors with a $150 core return ain’t bad actually. And I had them in 2 days. Everything else is usually a phone call away, maybe 2 day wait tops.
But I think we all have felt the delay for parts here lately….?
As far as older engines go, I wouldn’t have a problem with the BC or 3406B either one. Actually a well built Silver 92 would suit me fine to be honest….jldilley, Feedman, Rideandrepair and 2 others Thank this. -
ETA, I posted the same time as you dangit.Rideandrepair Thanks this.
