Nice, You sure it's a T?  240s don't come that way...

The engine is for my 240 coming out of a 760, but the salvage yard called and said it was crushed. D@mn. Still looking.

Found an 84 740 for $350 local. Been in a field for 5 years but is not locked up. Just gotta get it out of that field so the tow truck can haul it to the shop. Gonna put a front timing belt on it and try to make run before I yank it out.  ;D

Almost a shame to kill the 760, but a Turbo Diesel 245 is cooler.
