I'm looking for any advice or tips in regards to the 5040. I bought one before it went to the scrap yard. It rolls and the engine turns over by hand. It's missing all 3 injectors and the fuel tank.

Don't get to deep. The engines are Fiat - 5040 5045 5050 and Long 360 2360 2460 Oliver and others . Front grills really tough to find. Lots of cheap salvage - do the research. I would be hesitant to go into an engine and expect $$$... There were different types of pistons in the same engines and thing like that. .

I didn't pay much for it. My initial intention is to just get it running again then go towards a full restoration. I'm not really concerned about how much money I have to spend. This is a passion project of mine.
