I got an engine out of a truck at the local Pic-A-Part today.
Here's the monster....Me!
Heres what I brought home.

It's got that many dollars worth of cast iron in it
What does one of those weigh?

Engine only. With manifolds and water pump. The 266,304,345 and 392 IHC engines are a medium duty truck engine. They came with a 100K warranty back in the 60's.
They have extreemly hard blocks. A lot of machinest's don't like to bore them because the block will eat several bits.
Steel cranks.
Sodium filled valves and hard press in valve seats.
Each engine was hand assembled by 2 employees and were balanced.

Very cool. Whats your plan with this one?
Keep us informed
Keep us informed
in the 1970s through 1990s I worked with two guys that owned 60s vintage IHC Travelalls. Those vehicles both gave you the feeling that they would still be running after cockroaches were extinct.

This one looks to be a virgin. I'm going to check it out and put it in my pickup.

Funny. Nobody mentioned the Orange can of doom on it.
What truck are you going to put that in, your old Pete?
I'm impressed both by the crane, the neatness of that junkyard, and of course the rust-free bodies we'd die for here.
You should see our yards now that the spring thaw/mud season is starting. Vehicles sink so deep you can't get the doors open.

Naw I have an older IH pickup with a sick engine. The "new" engine is running in the bed of the pickup thats sick.

Ya but you don't want to go here in the summer. Prolly die from heat exhaustion before you got your parts. It's not uncommon to find a rattle snake in a car and you gotta shoo him off before you can get your parts.
There is another yard nearby and it's built in a sandwash which makes moving heavy things impossible by your self.

The engine running in the pick-up bed reminds me of cranking up the 150 HP MERC O/B in a 45 gal drum in the garage.
