The engine could be an 8V71 or 8V92. Could also be a 92T if it has a turbo. I did a quick search and found 2 1982's for $4,800 each. 300hp Detroit, 7 sp in good condition is what the ad says.

Cabover trucks are not much in demand although the drive train may be. What they are worth I think would depend on how bad someone needed a good running complete engine or other parts.

The engine would most likely be a 8v71 (318) you wouldn't find a 8v92.

The old Fords were also very common with 3208 Cats.
