Tags say they’re good. But now unknown, see below.
A friends dad past away, and my friend, the son, doesn’t have any info other than what his dad wrote on the tags.

TNJ Murray in Dover, DE had rows upon rows of them. I'd check with John first. I am unsure what he was asking as I was not in the market for an engine when I was there.

Yea kinda a dead item. Back in the 90’s when the Army was dumping the M151s, they would let the scrappers pull the engine before squashing the body flat as a flitter. So there is an abundance of engines here and there in warehouses for the demand that never came. Now 30 years has past and who knows if these stored engines are good as is or are just cores.

Sometimes there are a few for sale. Other times ZERO. They range from 350-2,500. Used. all depends on supply/demand and in the eyes of the owner and what they think they are worth. Some fools think they are worth 5K.

Still have them? Give me a call 5402261092. My father in law bought a mutt and smokes like crazy. He is in Winchester va and was hoping to find a mechanic that is lose enough to look at it for him. Swapping whole engine would be another way to go. Sat a lot after a restoration so may be a stuck ring? Was thinking dry rotted valve seals at first but doesn't clear up once it's running.

.
If the truck sat for a long time, maybe a few squirts if Marvel Mystery Oil (MMO) in each cylinder could possibly free up a stuck oil ring on the bottom of the pistons. After it sits for a few days, fire it up. It's going to smoke like you were dusting for mosquitoes. Might be worth a compression test so you could prove the problem. If a dry compression test shows a lot less pressure than wet, you may be on to something...

Your best bet, if you don't want to work on it yourself, is to put an add on Market place on FB or on Craigslist. Someone near you can help.
