    Scrapping at its best.

    Dodge Cummins common rail diesel with a blown rod and hole in the block, the Bosch Injectors and electronic fuel injection pump are still attached, I have the Holshot 1 Turbo and computer with misc wiring harness.



    Once this engine is dissembled I'm going to send the crankshaft out to see if it can be reground then I'm hoping the piston didn't smack the 24 valve cylinder head. Lots of goodies to sell from this piece of scrap - best part it was free.

    Next up a Minneapolis Moline RE engine from a combine fits some MM tractors, take a look at where the cylinder head and spark plugs are located on this engine and where the exhaust manifold sits. The type is called an L-Head.

    Between both engines in parts I would expect to make about $3500.00 more if the crankshaft is salvageable.

    Very cool stuff. So how do you come up with free stuff like that? Mike.

    1rst picture is Dodge Ram Cummins diesel engine with a big hole in the block, laying in the back of my pick up truck.

    To the left of the hole you can just see the yellow paint from the 2nd engine, which I removed from the truck for a much better picture.
