Trying to sell some of my old car parts collection to buy a car to drive to work since my trucks 15mpg is just too expensive! Hoped to use this engine in a future project but never could get the time and/or money to do it.
I really don't remember too much about the engine other than it had alot of lift which made it "lopey" and the Compression is 11.5:1 Which at the time seemed a bit high for Premium but I found out that if I switched to synthetic gasket material that I could run the engine on E-85 for regular driving. Or you could still use Higher octane fuel for racing purposes.
I have a carb for the engine and was actually the car used when they dynoed it. Sorry I don't have the Dyno papers. The carb is a Holley double pumper 770cfm. Electric choke.
Comes with a HEI distributor also. I have some Chrome M/T Valvle covers that would look really nice on this engine. The last valve covers that were on it were used for another car so we had these old set on there to keep junk out of the engine while it was being stored.
I was going to put an Auto trans behind this engine and was told to use at least a 3000 rpm stall due to the cam that was in there.
Engine comes as it is in the picture except I will include the carb (pics available upon request)
Don't be afraid to make an offer but don't low ball me or there won't be a response.
Also block is from 1971 not sure on the heads but I can get the numbers for you. They are stock heads that were ported and polished very nicely. I always wanted to invest in some nice aluminum heads to see what this engine would do but no such luck on that.
After the engine was built it maybe had about 2000 miles on it but since it has sat for about 5 years in a heated garage it still should be gone through with some fresh gaskets.

Where are you located?

jimmy2s83

Sorry I forgot to put that in there.
Hagerstown Indiana. 47346 Zip.
I do visit the Grand Rapids/Muskegon area of Michigan a few times a year so possible delivery inbetween. May travel a little bit out of the way but I would expect my gas to be paid for of course.

r u shipping?

jimmy2s83

Shipping arrangments would have to be made by the buyer. Also I don't know how to crate the engine for shipment either so not sure how that would work. Suppose I could contact the local race shop and see what could be done. If I could get it shipped are you interested?

yes

jimmy2s83

OK I am going to be out of town until Monday and will try to contact a race shop that is about 10 miles from me and see if they can crate it or help with any shipping arranments and see what the cost would be.
Will let you know once I know.

okay sounds good,do you have any specs besides compression ratio? Cam? roller or not?

jimmy2s83

OK just got back to town. Cam is standard but the rocker are roller tip. Cam was high lift and duration but not sure on what. Just know it was high.
Wasn't able to talk to the race shop but we could crate at my work and make sure its stable and sturdy enough for shipping. Probably would want to box it in to avoid accidents or parts being removed during transit.
If you can get a shipping company to pick it up out here we can arrange that. The address would be a business but no fork truck available to load.
Private message me if you are interested or email me at Jimmy2s83@yahoo.com
