I don't have a picture yet, but I found a '97 7.3L with 87K miles. Compression was 435 to 475 (first stroke topping 300 PSI) on the pallet on a 40-degree day. For comparison, here is a compression test on my engine with 310K miles under near-identical conditions:
Engine came complete - starter, fan, turbo and pedestal, ups, T4 connection, alternator, PS pump, A/C pump, HPOP, Fuel bowl, oil cooler, wiring harness... the works. Allegedly... the previous owner set a new OCD bar to hurdle, but he fell asleep at the wheel one day and rolled his pride and joy. The oil pan is punctured and the engine has been in an enclosed trailer for a couple of years (intakes all sealed with duct tape), but other than the mouse nest and dust I cleared from the valley - a clean engine.
Now I gotta get the canopy off the truck and the engine out of the bed without the benefit of a forklift at home. I have a plan.
*Revision Wednesday March 30th: I now have a picture of the engine in the bed, and a 2-ton engine lift to dig it outta there.
From the last paragraph, Tug... Sounds like you have your new motor on the back burner and that your going to run what you have until she gives up the ghost?
Not to rain on the parade, but I'd be worried about oil starvation on an engine that ran while upside down, and with a punctured oil pan. Could have cooked the bearings, scored the cams, etc.
