Update on My Reno Status - My 3 Choices....
another option would be:
Put it on a flatbed semi and get it home with the engine still out. Rebuild the engine yourself and reinstall. Getting it home would be expensive but rebuilding the engine yourself would be worth it IMHO. Engine rebuilding is not rocket science and quite an enjoyable process. You might save some money but more importantly there would be no question that it was done right. Just imagine that everytime you started that bird you would have the satisfaction of knowing that engine is yours. I've pulled a 3208 out of an FC before and rebuilt other diesels, yes it is work but the reward is great. Anyways, this is what I would do. Well, not quite.... actually I wouldn't rebuild the 3208. I would install a cummins 5.9L and trans out of a Bird school bus. but that is just my bias for Cummins.
