i personally wouldn't go thru the effort of doing an install of a high milage combo like that without a major rebuild //price seems high to me for core value

Why is the guy selling it. Is he putting another newer engine in his truck? By the time and money it will cost you to rebuild the engine I would not think it would be worth the asking price. I would not put it in my truck unless the engine and trans had a complete rebuild job. IMO
