I am considering buying a 220 with a blown (hole in the block) engine. I figured it would cost me $3000 to repair the engine. But i was wondering if it would be cheaper to buy a running engine? In other words, whats the value on a running 3500?

A. Combine donor engine should be common and cheaper. One would think. Id call around. To some salvage yards and see.

I sold a 670T from a L2 for $1500 and bought a 3500 MK II with an inline injection pump for $2200. This engine was a power unit for a standby water pump and had 82 original hrs. It is in my 220 with the addition of an intercooler. Looks good and works better in there.
