Today was a good day. Got the engine and look at what I found: That really made my day! :-o Here she is, ready to be put into the trailer: And a picture of the machine it came out of: Also got a NP246 for free. The machine will be displayed next to the ice rink so it wasn't needed...

I have come to an agreement with the seller. By next Monday I will be the proud owner of this engine. I also get an NP246 transfer-case.

Actually no, I have 2 running 6.2s. I figured an upgrade in horsepower and torque wouldn't be a bad thing if I can get it for a good price. Detroit Diesels are fairly rare over here, 6.5s even more so. By the way, if I do end up buying it, I will sell one of the 6.2s to recoup I guess about...

I ran across this 6.5 for sale: Casting number 12555506. From what I can find this means '97 or newer with updated main-bearing bolts to prevent a (common) cracking issue. Other then that, all I know at the moment is that it is in some kind of machinery equipment. Is this a worthy upgrade...
