Yea, I don`t remember seeing a turbo, but haven`t really looked, it may have one. You have to preheat to start when she`s cold. Also this motor fits under the engine cover in the ford van in the cab which looks to be tighter than the room under the ff hood, and the oil pan is shorter at the front of the motor and deeper at the rear so looks like it would fit in the ff engine crossmember well. I`m not really worried about resell as I plan to keep it for life all I want is the classic beauty and ruggedness of the ff and decent fuel economy. Diesel is about .50 cheaper than gas. I`m gonna go with the 5.83 and the np540 for now. Thanks for the input. When I get my still going I will go back to the 251 more than likely, but since for now I have no motor at all this is more than likely going to fill the bill.
