Considering a '06 Volvo with Cummins ISX 400hp for $7k. Ad says engine needs overhauled. Truck has "shared imaging" on the doors, I assume hospital imaging truck, and I assume it was left idling a lot, but don't know for sure.
So the questions are; assuming the main components are ok,
What does an inframe rebuild cost?
Would it be better/cheaper to replace with a low mileage used motor?
Can that motor be turned up to 450+ hp?
Cummins ISX, reman or replace? Turn it up?

Count on everything including the head, cams and followers being junk. Basic Inframe with Cummins parts done at a NON dealer at $20,000. Minimum. Now add cams and your going to have $30k in it.
Cummins crate motor shipped to your door is $25,000 but you still have to install it.
. So you’ll have $40,000 in it. It will be worth $15,000 tops once completed.
Nothing wrong with that if you know it going in but you better not be financing if the money. I have personal experience with just such topics.Last edited: Aug 9, 2018
