I have been on the fence the past few months about keeping or selling this engine, and I have decided to re-home it.
Up for grabs is a true, unmolested 1HD-FT out of a 1995 HDJ81. No EGR, no electronics, no problem.
For those who love H-series engines, this one is the holy grail. Originally, I was going to put this engine into a triple-locked manual HDJ80 project I have been working on throughout the summer (see this thread: 1HDT to 1HDFT swap - 80 series - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1hdt-to-1hdft-swap-80-series.1363820/#post-15988329 ). However, I have since changed directions, and plan to keep things original.
About this engine:
Here are links to two cold start/running videos:
Asking $12.5k
I couldn't find much history of FTs selling here on Mud, as they really don't come up for sale too often. This seems like a fair price. I would ideally like to find a local buyer, or at least someone to come out and do the transaction in person. That being said, if I have to crate the engine and ship it, I am willing to do it, as long as the buyer makes the necessary arrangements. There's been a lot of clever scams going around lately, and doing business over the phone makes me nervous.

Additional questions, feel free to ask. I will do my best to respond to PMs in a timely manner.

- Right now, the engine is still in the truck, and running. I will probably pull it this weekend or next. If you want videos of something specific, drop me a message.
- I am open to including other swap-related parts with the sale - engine harness, throttle cables, etc., most things are up for grabs.
