injected 460-pricing???

Need some input on this, Today I found an 88 F-250 2wd with a 460 in a junkyard. The guy sold his land and is getting ready to crush out. Supposedly the engine was OK but needed a timing set and when previous owner put in new set he broke the timing cover and didnt finish the job. Junkyard guy wants $200 for entire truck, but the distributor, front pulleys engine oil dipstick and alternator are missing (that I can tell right off) Is truck worth the price????Keep in mind that I was wanting the entire truck for the fuel injection setup.

i think so. part it out what you don't want and then sell the frame and sheetmatel for scrap. figue you can get maybe $75. for the rearend.at least $75 for the trans. then sell what ever else . i think you could make a little money off of it even. thats what i would do

just curious are you swapping fuel injection on to a orginally carbed engine?

No, I was going to use the 88 engine. Didnt the 460 change along the years somewhere that would prevent the injection setup from being utilized on an older carbed engine??
