Well the engine in Kennewick was a BUST.... First off the seller doesn't know any history of the engine & then he actually wasn't in Kennewick but was in Dayton which would have added another hour one way to the drive. So it wasn't worth it to try and pick that one up.
The one in Moses Lake I'm going to go look at tomorrow. It's got 178K miles on it but as long as there isn't anything blaringly obvious wrong I'll buy it.
Going to have to tare it down in the bed of my truck since I don't have a way to get it from my truck to the garage with the Jeep in the way.
There is a low mileage 5.9 over near Tacoma with only 68K miles but the seller wants $900 for it. But I'm still thinking about
@Mike_H suggestion of buying a running engine and swapping it in for now so I can make it to Moab in June. But I really don't have any extra funds laying around after paying for the motorhome engine right now.
