Just curious what a replacement engine would cost if I did blow one up?
I am just referring to the main engine assembly (block, head, crank, rods, pistons.), no exhaust, turbo, fuel injection, etc.

I thought the Cummins dealer mentioned the replacement cost was only around $3500? Does that sound right? If it is, it may make an interesting starting point for a fully modified engine

 

Try more like 7500.00 to 9500.00

 

That was probably just for a bare block

 

Thats a rebuilt short block

 

I really don't want to know until I need to know.

 

I got mine last year for about 4600. It was a long block from Jasper.

 

$6500-$7250

the ford cummins people have already sold out when i called them bout 2 months ago southern plains in houston could not get one they said but they could rebuild for around 16000.00 and dodge said they could get a rebuilt long block installed around 14000.00 so we ended up having our mechanic do it for 6500.00 with a 1 year unlimited mileage warr.

 

Great link, $7250 for a complete 2005 Cummins engine WITH turbo, wireing harness, and starter.

 

you can also find them on ebay every now and again in the $5000 range
