    Cool, they don't mind the old truck I guess.

    The highest hp that motor came with was 425 so it must be built up to get to 475. do you have a dyno run on it?

    now you are making me want to go dig out my paint gun, I'm embarrased now! lol well considering I coulda bought my truck 5 times for what you paid I think I did good. But a documented motor rebuild goes a long way with price

    I know all to well how that goes. I've been told this motor in my truk is fresh but with no paperwork I have to assume it's not. I'm looking for a good core motor to start rebuilding to swap out my cummins with. I'm hoping for 800 hp at least. I found a KTA cummins for sale $18k used. I'd like to get that baby. You can daily drive that motor with over 1400hp.

    A decent short hood brings about $10k, that looks a bit too neglected though
