Hi Ray. This wouldn't be an easy swap into your CH.It's an EGR engine with variable geometry turbo.Would need the ECM and harnesses. But to answer your question I'd like to get $4500 for it. We've had it since new and know it's history. Not like a junkyard engine. Steve

Frame rails can be changed....seen it done at the local Mack dealer. Not sure what it costs, but certainly it would be cheaper than replacing the truck. Have you looked into that option?

I don't even know what it would cost...but if the truck is reliable and the only thing wrong is the tweaked frame rails, I'd be hard pressed just to write it off as an old truck.

...then again, I spent around $4000 this year fixing up a motorcycle that's probably only worth $1500.....new tires, rebuilt the entire brake system, rebuilt & upgraded forks, new radiator, etc. The ONLY vehicle I've ever owned that I don't still have was my first motorcycle...and I still kick myself over that one, but I was a broke college kid at the timeand was wearing that little 500 out pretty quick....and needed to trade it in for a down payment on a bigger bike.

Those ac460's run pretty good and do decent on fuel too, their biggest issue was the Turbo but with550k id guess you already got the updated Turbo. To use that engine in a different v-mac version truck you need everything engine,harness,eclipse and guage cluster.
