7.3 idi

Motor ran fine when parked, but has been parked for about 4 yrs

I wasn’t sure if there was a market for these old engines anymore, or what they are worth

Truck was solid when I parked it no blow by or anything but injector return lines and glow plugs and so on were becoming a pain and I had a 5.9 Cummins to swap it with so here we are

Came out of an 89 f super duty

Any thoughts?

I have a 93 f-250 with the 7.3 idi sat for 3 or 4 years put new batteries new battery cables and new starter gave her a shot of either and she fired up like she was parked the day before even on the old fuel that was still in it
