Owner wants to revive a 83 Pete we've had sitting for years.Has a Cummins NTC 400 big cam 2,that blows head gaskets like clockwork.Block's deck is bad.I've been told that the core is no longer acceptable by factory reman standards(obsolete).I'm looking at aftermarket possibilities,but our super has suggested repowering with a Cat.I'd prefer this option,but can't get any clear answers on the practicality of doing so.Adding to my concerns are the cost vs. truck's worth.I've done this sort of thing with smaller pieces,and wouldn't volunteer to do it again,but if the boss throws the money at it,what would stop me?
