I checked a few of the SNs & they were mostly 3306 engines & one I saw was a D343 engine.

I'd steer away from these engines other than for parts,-they'll have countless threaded holes worn out,crossthreaded,etc..I learned my lesson on a batch of 6.2L engines sold like this.On the other hand,you might get lucky
