HELP PLEASE

i'm trying to value some parts. I have a 1975 F100 Ranger with a 390 FE and C6 auto. Truck has 28,000 original miles. I would like to know what the engine is worth ( needs valve seals, but rear main is dry ) …what the trans. is worth, and what the diff. ( non posi ) is worth. The body is a rust bucket except the cab … ( floors and turrets are rust free and very sound, and everything works in the cab ) Engine runs excellent, as does the trans. and diff. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your answers and opinions. Just don't have time to re-store, and have found an '86 150 i really want thats mint.

I have lot's of pictures of the truck, but think i'm not allowed to put them up because i'm not a paying member ?? …i think that's how it works,i can send them to your email if your interested. Truck is in climax sk, just across the Montana boarder

…thanks red, thats a great help. Wondering if you can put auto tranny fluid in your oil to swell up the valve stem seals ? …i've heard of this being done, and if so, how much do you think to put in ?. Also what do you think of lucas oil fortifier, it says it stops leaks..will it swell them up too ? I really need this truck for work right now, but don't want to drive risking an oil fire from it leaking through the exhaust valve and running down the exhaust pipe, it's sat for a year, maybe these remedies with daily driving will swell them back up ?…..thanks again…greatly appreciated…. i'm going to amend my ad so it's accurate to this problem now too…

thanks again

FEL-PRO Part # VS13049R $8.87 for the pair at Rock auto

This with the fitting for your air hose will keep the valve up in the head while you change out the seals ..
Proform 67407 Spark Plug Adapter 14mm $6.14

OTC 4573 Universal Overhead Valve Spring Compressor OTC 4573 Universal Overhead Valve Spring Compressor
$16.05

Magnetic Flexible Pickup Tool $7.99 to catch the keepers once you have the valve compressed

total $48.52 + shipping to do all valve stem seals

A can of brake kleen to clean the valve cover mating surfaces and some rags to plug the oil gallies holes to keep a keeper from falling in the head and you are golden .. Just do one bank at a time ..

I know you can do this Just follow the video I linked you to previously on your other thread
