lds-465

[Lee Alessi]

is 2500 considered fair, or average? or is that a steal? its rebuilt in the crate...


now my other question is for the few of you who have done it, is it literally a "bolt in" affair?



im looking at a lds-465 in the crate and/or a ldt-465-1d in the crate.



the lds im looking at supposedly has a power steering pump on it, is that correct???

Correct on the PS pump. Bolts on right in front of the injection pump. Its not exactly a drop in but it's not that difficult. Need to turn the oil pan around and change the pickup location. Also need to use the bellhousing off the deuce I think. Same basic block so you should have all you need as long as your current trucks is complete. I don't think you could beat the $2500 price. Sure, there have been folks who have picked up a fresh engine from the gov't for $50 but face it, $2500 is a good price for any rebuilt long block much less a complete engine.

the guy just called me. he says according to his research this was a 2.5ton motor. he said the 5 ton lds is different, he just does not know how.
