There are many around in the $150-$300 price ranges. You just have to look around. I've got five or six good running 6.2s in storage. Also have five trucks with good running 6.2s plus a mini-motorhome on a K5 Blazer. Last one I bought came in a complete good running 1991 4WD Suburban with 110K miles on it. It was a local school vehicle. I bought it for $200 on sealed bid. Runs great but a rust-bucket. Nice thing is I know that is the original miles. I have too many and will never use what I've got, so I tend to pass them up now unless free. Last year, a local guy traded me a good running 82 K10 6.2 diesel truck, and running 86 diesel Blazer with bad trans, and a 88 6.2 perfect running 4WD Suburban with no title - all for 100 bales of hay (value of $150).

Biggest problem with buying is . . . if it's out of the vehicle, you don't know what shape it's in. In fact, even when IN the vehicle, most have 5 digit odometers. A perfect running 6.2 might have an odometer that reads 22K, and you won't know if it's 124,000 or 324,000 miles. My 87 Suburban made it to 520,000 before the original 6.2 blew to pieces. When it was at 519,900 miles it ran like a new engine.

And, shipping is also an issue. I've got a couple of 6.2s I bought from the West Coast. I paid $100 each and they supposedly have less then 100K miles. But, shipping ran me over $400 each, and that was with a special deal. I only bought them because they came as package deals with Banks turbos.

I don't find many 5.9 Cummins that cheap. I've been wanting to buy a 3.9 turbo Cummins with Chevy adapter for a long time they alway go for more then $2000. Cummins made them special to replace 6.2 diesels in bread vans.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit ... [Read Article]
