Nice. I have one of these in my trawler. Just repowered last year

[@FlatThunder]

Seems like a pretty stout little diesel! Thanks for watching 👍😁

Good work Andy. I have no idea what you should use that for, but it's awesome regardless! You looked like a proud father there handing out cigars! 😂

I was starting to get a little skeptical during all that cranking, but super happy she kicked off! Now what to do with it!? Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

Great job getting the old girl started and running! The base engine is a Mitsubishi 6DS7. They were Good heavy all steel engines in 1980 terms. You just can't overheat them without serious problems. If you still have it and decide to sell I'd be interested in it.

Thanks! I will keep you in mind. So far she is just hanging out in my pallet rack. I have great ambitions of transplanting her into a classic truck, but I'm also about 5 major projects behind! Thanks for watching! 👍😁

I received more interest in someone purchasing this engine. What's an engine like this worth? I'm still debating if I want to keep it for a transplant. Thanks for the info

Cool video Andy. Had my share of the injector bleeding last weekend, what a pain in the !

[@FlatThunder]

Thanks Pete! Yeah it can become really cumbersome to get all the trapped air out of the lines. Especially with limited batteries and starter capacity. Thanks for watching my Friend 👍😁
