looking to repower my 72 23' cc sf 5.7L i/o

dammm...that's some good return on you're money in fuel savings! My friend told me the diesel will still run if electronics/batt's and all have been fried from a lightning strike. Just to get in of course. What's a fair price for a used 320 diesel motor and outdrive combo? I'll do some price hunting. thank's for the good info! I may sell this 350 small block and alpha 1 outdrive. Bout to tear it down and put a new block, pistons, rings and clean heads back together for a possible combo sale. I may see what kind of mpg i get after rebuild so i can make up my mind for the upgrade.
