What is the weight on this engines and what series number would you need to use to get parts for them just in case you would like to convert a old mecanical one?

There were a pair of 350hp DDEC Silver 6V53TIA's on ebay back in April.

The seller wanted $9,950 for each of them.

If it helps any, the seller's number is: 586-749-0600

Many of the internal parts will interchangeable between the older mechanical engines and the new electronically controlled ones.

The main differences are heads, blower (has no governor on it), ecm, injectors, block (it is machined differently), and some small proprietary stuff ...
