BobT-47P15 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) There have been maybe 5 bidders, best I can tell. Must be down to the two who want it most and have the moolaa. Hope that head is in good shape, not warped or anything. I see it's located in good old central Missouri.

deathbound Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Just ended @$1,500.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alshere59 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) So $1500 then you have these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320622804783&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT this is a dodge flathead with hi comp head, 2 carb intake, split exh, gm dis, and all kinds of good stuff on it, it came out of my 52 car. i did brake a valve and that is why i took the eng out. well that and i wanted a v8. this eng comes with 2 trans. and all the hard to find speed parts that i spent the last 10 year finding. i have $1,000 in the head alone. any ? ask i will get back to you a.s.a.p. thanks for looking. Q: what brand of head intake and carbs,what was done to the engine prior to breaking the valve.cam?compression?porting?is it stock?thanks A: the head is a edmounds, intake is offy, carbs are stock b&b just 2 of em. other wise the eng is all stock. NOTE Headers look to be a set of langdon's Selling price $1,560.00 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180588420606&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Original Fenton Aluminum Head for Plymouth / Dodge / Flathead Six L6 / 218 / 230 This head is for the small inline six cylinder Plymouth, and Dodge. The engine this was removed from was full of anti-freeze, and there appears to be no corrosion in the water jackets. The exterior of the head, and combustion chambers look to be excellent. I can have this glass beaded and it will be nearly perfect. The little bit of dirt, and the carbon are 'as found' just to let you see how good this head is. They don't come much better except NOS. Make that early 50's rod, or rat rod shine with a Fenton aluminum head with higher compression. Selling price $560.00 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130460957387&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:VRI You are looking at a Mopar flathead six engine. The motor was rebuilt and is equipped with an edmunds head,duel carbs, and stovebolt engineering headers.It comes with an overdrive 3 speed transmission with cables.This would be great in any Mopar 30's,40's and 50's car.The motor is clean,painted and ready to drop in. The starter was rebuilt.I will not ship this motor. You can make arrangements to have it picked up. I am in the Boston area.Payment in full within 7 days of auction ending. Verifiable bank check,wire transfer from a bank or cash only. Selling price $2200 I don't get it. The prices are all over the board. The last engines considering individual parts would seem to be the better deal. The prices don't show that. I have said it before my engine parts would be up there in a second I f I could get those prices. Edited December 10, 2010 by Alshere59 Links appear to be broke.

dezeldoc Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Yep, told ya so! the last couple i have seen go went that high and higher! Race motor Ha! the one that went for 1500 was a better deal than just the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alshere59 Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 I still think the 2200 dollar engine was the best deal. Overdrive, aluminum head, intake and headers. In what condition is anybodies guess. The race engine comment is just hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrashingcows Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I think the price difference is the fact that some people just don't get very creative with their searches. So you have a different crowd on each item. I think the 2 complete motors were both great deals. But if I was to spend the $$$ on an aluminum head I'd buy a "new" edgy before shelling out $1500 for an unknown used head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desoto1939 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 It sold for $1500.00. I do not care how good it looks on the car that is money not well spent in my opinion. I bought a orginal 39 Desoto with a newly rebuild engine for 2200. These parts are getting out of hand.

T120 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 ..there's stuff selling on ebay for rather ridiculous prices -kinda makes a person wonder if it's about money laundering Doesn't seem as though people are spending hard earned cash...

tysouthwick Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) I would like to know who is buying all these? As far as we know every one who owns an engine that they fit is on this forum and no one has spoken up yet, maybe to hide the embarrassment for the ridiculous prices Edited December 21, 2010 by tysouthwick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
