    Any recommendations? Would love to buy a used engine that is in good shape, or is at least worth the cost of an out of frame rebuild. I see worldwide diesel, JJ rebuilders, nationwide diesel, etc. Anyone know a respectable place to purchase one from? Looking for a s60 12.7. Thanks

    What do you mean by worth the costs of an out of frame rebuilt? Are you wanting used or rebuilt?

    I mean an engine that has potential. A block that is worth renewing. I’ll take any info on where to buy a rebuilt one as well only thing is I don’t have a core.

    Why not just rebuild the one you already got?

    What's the reason you want to R & R rather then rebuild?

    If the counterbores in your current block are good, just rebuild it.

    Where are you located? John Story truck salvage outside of Knoxville has a warehouse full of em. Clean, crated, ready to go. I don't know more specifics but I walked past them the other day.
