6.9 feeler thread

I am going to be pulling my 86 6.9 engine out and replacing it with a 7.3 powerstroke this fall/winter. I am looking for feelers what it is worth and if anyone is interested, so they can hear it run before pulled

86 6.9 N/A
160k
rebuilt injection pump
no blow buy or oil consumption
Good Oil pressure

O i also will be selling the t-19 trans(4wd) and the most likely the t-case

It varies some depending on the area.

John, are you looking for an engine now too?

also depends on which 6.9 it is. Is it the early model, or the later model with the beefed up hole for the heater?

It's 24 y/o w/ 160k on it. Whoever buys it will want to go through the basics and tune it up. The majority of these trucks aren't even worth $2k. $500 is 1/4 the cost of a replacement truck. Figure the buyer will put another few hundred into the motor which approaches 1/2 the cost of a replacement truck. I'd say $500 is fair.

If it's out of an '86 and it's the stock motor, it'll have the beefed up block heater boss at the plug. I think they implemented this improvement around mid '85. I could be wrong though.

If I can get a good running cheap IDI any year model, I wanna do a quick weekend swap in my F150.... i`m sick and tired of getting 11mpg with a 6 cylinder....

Plus I miss my loud old diesel clatter during a 30 min warm up in the morning
