Got to storage garage today.Lots of interior smoke damage.Not a highly optioned car.Rt side glass looks good (will have to clean it to be sure.Drivers door glass gone.The guy I got it from gave me something shipped in cardboard that I believe is replacement for it.He thought he was going to fix...

Very true! I've heard soooooo many claims of this or that guy built an engine and I know they didn't. A couple times of "so and so" built this one last year and the builder had been dead for 10 years. Others claims of guys building engines that I know don't build engines.

My feeling is regardless of who built it unless it hasn't left their shop then its a core/used engine. Pardon my distrust in humanity, opinions vary, perceptions differ, definitions are regional.

Tottenville NY The years have not been good to the place.

Yes, front bench is really bad

I have a couple 383hp engines, one of them is a complete engine that I have on a run stand at this time. The engine has about 20k on it and it runs great. I purchased it from a friend that blew his engine and went to a local engine builder/car guy to see if he could build an engine for him...

What if it was from a trusted engine builder?

A rebuilt engine is the same price as a core, thats all I'd pay. I can not see inside of it nor do I know what's been done or if its been done correctly. Just because a seller says so doesn't make it true. I also dont know how it was treated at or after the initial start up. Unless the seller...

What might some of the prices from Summit Racing on crate engines be? I haven't looked lately . . . Seems like they usually have one or two sources on them? CBODY67

Actually, it was the opposite especially on the lower end price competitive cars like Plymouths. Chrysler wanted to give you lots of options and price flexibility. Just keep checking the boxes until your pocketbook ran out.

Many people tend to "look down" on "Polys", but their heritage goes back to the "Single Rocker Shaft V-8" of the 1950s. Which means their bottom end is pretty much the "Double Rocker Shaft V-8" family of engines. MUCH beefier main bearing area than the small block Chevies! Uncle Tony has good...

I was always told to never use emery cloth on electrical contacts, brushes, commutators etc. The reasoning was that there was conductible material that stuck to the contact and give you problems later on. This was told to me by my Dad who was a talented industrial electrician. My uncle used...

I had a 1976 Chrysler Newport that was bought new by my parish priest. No A/C, AM radio, crank windows... No frills Chrysler. Makes you wonder why he didn't get a Plymouth. He was loyal to the CP store (Wagner's Garage). Prior to that he had a 1968 Newport (which I never saw). He bought a Turbo...

Hello all starting my search for a 2 door 66 Monaco. Clean driver preferred. Thank you HotRod20

EXACTLY!!!

I’m not talking about if you built it yourself I mean if you were to buy it ready to install in your car. Thanks for your great input

Last engine I had done was a Slant 6. More of a freshening up and strictly stock was $3600. It was done by a highly recommended machine shop that does work for the guys at work who race. I was VERY happy with the end results.

Yes, Brent from halfasskustoms uses his to our amazement. Not just for panel welding, but also for rust/scale removal. If Parkinson's Disease had not taken me out of the old car hobby, I'd definitely buy one!

Got it up on my lift today. Looks just as solid underneath. Just very dirty from all the years of sitting. Next I'll change the fluids and see how well it runs.

My friend Mike turned 78 last week. (Hard to believe 80 is around the corner for him). Every year he says, "another one in the books". Enjoy my friend, happy to wish you "Happy Birthday"!
