There are 2 on fleabay right now but I am waiting on 1800'diesel to let me know if he has a mep he is parting out. I would rather stay close to buying off people from this board for now.

Have you turned it over by hand? Fins packed with sand and air cleaner missing is a bad sign!

Did the 1st start the other day... It runs and makes power!!! Had to make 2 injector return lines and 1 oil line, the starter disconnect switch is still not working right but still in work... air filter assembly on order and hopefully will arrive this week.. The start solenoid was missing the adjustable end so it wouldn't shut down the engine. so I found a way around that..

Update!!! added it to a trailer to make it easier to move around!
