Depends what you can get an engine for? I get used running 250s for under a grand around here, maybe it's worth it to you but what's your end game? Toy or $$? If it's a toy then put something else in it like a 6CTA (I've always wanted to see what that would be like in an M809 truck) but if it's for sale then go stock, simply worth more due to expectations.
Also the fuel pump may be salvageable so take it, the starter, muffler, alternator, and power steering pump too.

I'd love to transplant a 8.3 Cummins into an 800 series and put super singles on it. That would be a bad motor scooter.

thanks. My 813 has a good engine. Right now my dilemma is which truck to save as there is only enough parts combined to make one good truck...Do I want another Cargo truck or do I want a tractor ????
i have 395s on Hemtt wheels ready to go on either.
I could also make a long wheelbase tractor from the 813....��

I made a long wheel base cargo/tractor out of my M927A2.

Repower it with a 6-71 Detroit! That is my vote!

Are you planing on parting that engine out? If so I might be interested in any good cylinders that are left.Gee what could be wrong ??

Use the 813 chassis and make a longer wheelbase tractor.

LOL
love the screamin detroits, but can't work with em anymore, just to darn many headaches at the end of the day.
350 fuel mizer might be a good option, with turbo, simply drop the can off the side and replace with silencer in exhaust stack, good fuel economy, little extra power, without the usual small cam problems.
