New old Motor

[REDPOWERSMOKER]

Ok i came across a motor 7.3 built same month and everything as mine (or so the valve cover says) but i can get it cheap and all it needs is a head gasket if i got this motor what is it potential for slowly rebuilding to be one badd a** motor to dominate all and how much would it cost and my price range is small but i can take the time to do it any info on this would help thanks

If you have the time, set a sertin amount to the side ever pay day, and once a week get something new. If you have then cash just start spending. Its dont waist the money on other stuff for the rig. make the motor your main consirn

Thats exactly what i wanna do i mean 250$$ for the motor and then put it in my pup shed and slowly rebuild it but the thing is i dont know what internally i can do with the motor this is really my first diesel to play with im used to gassers and such so i dunno.. any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated

Get yourself a base of what your total outcome will be. What #'s are you looking for horsepower and torque wise? Will you use it for street and strip or for pulling competitions? What truck are you going to put the motor in? Figure out where your going and you'll get there easier.

wanting to keep it versital to where it will be my daily driver but also be able to get into sled pulling and racing i will have the motor out of my truck if i complete this one to fall back on its still good so i really want an all outrageous motor

250 bucks...!!!!!!!!

I'd buy that sucker in a heartbeat!! to truly build the motor you are looking at around atleast 15K for a good powerful motor that is built right!

Yeah that is at the very least! But the good part is you save about $4000 for the motor itself!
