The thing that concerns me about this is that it doesn't appear he spent any
time cleaning the engine up before moving it in. If I were doing it and this
were going to be a conversion I planned on marketing that engine would be
beautiful going in and the pictures would be really nice beauty shots. As it is
it could be mechanically a great conversion but it looks *ahem* rough.

Hello Kaleb,
It was my understanding that the Frito-Lay delivery vans were having
serious issues with the SB Chevy that was in them and that a Cummins
sales agent got wind of this and proposed a drop-in replacement. While 4BT
engines are available, the engines with the SB Chevy bolt-pattern are
highly prized. The engine that is in the truck that I am looking at
came from a forklift so I am a little bit concerned about high-mileage but
if it checks out when I see it then I think I will be okay.
