Try the local Pick and Pull. Since the Cluckers are ending up in the junk yards, I just found an '84 Dodge pickup with 833-0D, bell,clutch,flywheel and shifter all for less than $150.

Sorry to say that I had to stay away from the yard so that I wouldn't be tempted to buy it. Went back 2 weeks later and it was crushed and gone. I was a little happy and sad, because the HOARDER in me wanted it even though I don't need it. (I'm trying to control my sickness)

For $150 you should have bought it, then sold it on here or e-bay?

Brad, You don't know how bad I wanted it!  But, I have to remind myself that I already have 2 833s, 2 833ODs and 2 518s, 904 and 727s. If it was just sitting out for $150 I would have gotten it. It was greasy and all still bolted in the truck. If someone was really looking for one, they would have found it right after me.
 I'm mainly after throttle bodies, injectors, ECUs and fuel injection sensors and modules. I don't have to get too dirty. Did you know Chrysler made a small block 8 point hall effect distributor? Works for fuel injection and only available for 2 years.
