Set up properly 300-350 hp will give you years of good service, a guy on a Cummins forum has over 400,000 miles on his that's making 320 hp.
That's nearly 650000 km for you guys.
Mine hasn't been dyno'd but should be around 300-350 hp, it does a good job hauling my loads at that level, I can turn it up more but it starts running to hot and puts a lot of stress on the rest of the drive train.
Long term reliability is what I want from my truck, didn't get that from the 6.0

Sweet!
Built date August 7 1995, that makes it a early 96 model 215 engine but still has the spin on fuel filter, that's a plus.
Engine # 56233678 is the serial number for that engine, if you ever need any parts from Cummins that's the number they'll need to look up the parts.
Vacuum pump, power steering pump and all of the throttle linkage is there, even the turbo's exhaust elbow, and you said there was some wiring also
Looks like you got a complete package, that's much better than a stripped down engine.

He is dearer than some importers but hes an ex diesel mechanic so cant hurt paying a little more for a legit engine i reckon.. oh and brand fss and lift pump.

I understand about the clutch, being where your located and the shipping cost, be aware that a double disc clutch will cause the tranny to shift slower.
I'm using the radiator cooler, but if I ever take the trans out for any reason I'm going to mount a external cooler up between the frame rails behind the transfer case.
Every time I need to do any maintenance under the truck those cooler lines going the the radiator are in the way.

How much slower to shift sre talking. Im not into drag racing at all. So unless like a 18 speeder slow wont worry me.
will the box need its own circulation pump and coolant tank once it has its own cooler?

Will it be much quicker with the single plate? If no maybe i will run that version.
argh cool thats a bonus easy stuff then just a tank for the coolant and new lines and condensor then yeah.

Yes single plate will shift quicker, it may just be me but my ZF6 seams to shift slower than a ZF5.
No tank needed, the tranny holds all of the oil, just plumb lines to the cooler and back to the tranny.

How important is hooking the tranny up to cooler? Could i get away with not hooking it up and just connecting the 2 lines if i needed? Or should it be done b4 driving
also do.cummins sell the dual vented covers or is it an aftermarket part? I find the zf5 in my effie a nice box actually
