    Maybe. Rebuilt isx is my only $$ feasible. Option. That's why I wanted some #$ from some one with experience with engine swaps to pre eld to give me a rough estimate.

    I can always go cheap buy used motor. But now peace of mind.

    Like saying goes pay now or pay later. Bit u pay. Sitting on side of road dont make my drivers money

    Or keep them happy

    International is not very popular truck for swaps...i think it will cost you arm and leg , like cascadia is not popular with cat , my cascadia build is more expensive that kw with cat just because kit cost much more , i am hoping it will repay over long run

    Wow, I don't know anyone in the area that I would send you to for that. If it was an N14, for an N-14, or an N14 that needed fixin, I'd probably give it a whirl. But the newer Cummins is out of my realm, along with the electronics, esp. a conversion wiring harness, would give an old fart like me nightmares.
    Good luck with your project, decent looking truck to start, esp. inside.
