    My dad finally gave me the ‘95 a couple of months ago. Nothing better than getting a 12v for free and with a manual transmission. I plan on fixing it up and making it my own and addressing all the issues you mentioned in the vid.

    I have a 7.3 and 12 valve. I prefer the 12 valve in every way. 7.3 is a great option but has 100’s of wires and many electronics to think about. A 7.3 runs great when all those wires and electronics are ok. They can and will fail in an instant and you are left with a big problem to contend with. A 12 valve has zero electronics to fail. Even the fuel shutoff solenoid can be removed and fuel shutoff lever can be controlled by a cheap hardware store dash mounted universal choke cable. That is how I shut mine off. Only electrical on my 12 valve is the starter and if it fails I just park on a hill , let it roll and dump the clutch as my Fummins is a manual with zf6. Fires right up even without grid heater operational.

      My 12 valve made me dislike my 7.3 due to not realizing what I was missing. #this

    Have one of these engines in my 2004 Hyundai 210LC excavator. Has over 12,000 hours on it and still runs strong. I better check that dowel pin!

    From California, got one 97 for $32k, Is it worth the money?

      Sounds expensive for a 97 but would need a lot more details than that to know what it's worth.

      Buy what you can afford. I missed a deal on an item that I thought was too expensive but I had the money now it's gone and I am regretting not buying it.
      Money comes and goes, always but certain things may come along once in a life time and it may only be worth it too you. Don't let anyone make this decision for you and if necessary keep the cost to yourself.
      Yes, a late comment... but did you make the purchase? 😁
