Looking for a 6.2 engine
Looking for a 6.2 for my '82 with an NP833 trans. Long story short, I drove 2 hours with my tow dolly to pick it up, we got it started and it sounded awful. Engine was squeaky and sounded like something was holding it back and it was missing. After running about 20 seconds, and as soon as I realized that the engine was shot, I grabbed the key to shut it down and BANG, it stopped dead. It is locked up. Either a thrown rod or who knows. It has its original red block, which looks clean otherwise. I am looking for another engine for it. Can I use a later engine? I am guessing an automatic engine and manual engine are the same? Any advice would be appreciated as I search for a replacement engine.
