Im in the same boat with you.I bought a 53 SMD from a buddy who got scared of what it may end up costing to restore it.So far,all I have done was have the head rebuilt.Including the used valves I bought,I have 250 in the head.I have found the pistons and sleeves and gaskets so if the block is still good,Im going ahead with the rebuild of the engine,and from guesstiating Ill have about 2500-3000 in the engine counting the head.(Thats if the injectors and pump are still good)Will I ever get my money back out of it if Irestore it,nope!But what the heck!I know of only one MD,SMD or whatever used this engine around me so,I look at it as a rarity,if the engine aint no good,she goes for parts!
