Would any of these industrial engines be marked other than the prefix of IND? I'm trying to identify an engine that came into my possession that looks and smells like a dodge flathead but the stamped cast number is I04-I567 (those are both letter i not 1). Probably a combine but I just can't match it to anything.

Thanks for the pics @John-T-53

So you moved out of the big LA I take it..... or was it OC.
OC - moved to NV. I'm on the other side of the hill from Tim and couldn't get there!!!

Another great BBQ by looking at the pics. Any other weekend and the roads over the mountain would have been clear of snow. What rotten luck.

Stupid mountains ...

I left it outside somewhere. Let me see if I can find it.

You might want to try a boat supply house, they make custom cabling all the time. Not sure what that would cost but it was suggested to me before I actually found a used one from this one guy.

This would be a nice ride in the same pricehttps://losangeles.craigslist.org/ant/cto/d/1964-dodge-dart-gt-v8/6589747701.html
Yeah, GTs and convertibles are the desired cars. A fully running (but not super restored) sedan like the one I posted here is topped out at $3500-$4000 asking price. Sad really.

Well that sure sounds like a consensus. Thanks ya'll. Probably not a labor of love, more like a labor of glove!
Plymouthy: yeah, headlights. Likely expensive.
Kencombs: looked, not a chance.
RobertKB: Yeah, figured about 1000 for all new interior with a metal given a spray acid wash just prior. With resell prices all over the map I'd have to go with the lowish ones at $4k so that's 25% before purchase and brakes. Then, there is sheet metal. Wiring?
JBNeal: yeah, brakes are already shot. might be worth it to tap it with a road flare though ?
Frank/Plymouthy: Engine purrs like a kitten. The one thing that wouldn't need changing.
Flatie: My dad had one on the farm too when we were real young. (Imaging five boys that just wanted to push the buttons on the transmission).
Brent: Oops. Concerned indeed. Perhaps blinders so he can't see it.
P.S.
The shop owner where this is won't even move it around the lot any more. Says his uniform already stinks from driving it twice in the lot to park it.

I started mine (forgot to post) and lamented the fact the the fuel gauge no longer works. But it was sure easy to start and idled wonderfully. (Pats self on back for putting in a 6v electric fuel pump). Locked the truck again when I was done cuz I CAN!
Cobwebs successfully burned off. Phew! A full day's work indeed.

I figure I must have gotten bit by something because I am seriously considering flipping this rat-infested (and I mean it stinks something really awful) for a couple of bucks.
1964 Dodge Dart 270 trim https://photos.app.goo.gl/gkj90p5a1czQ1TC93
Vin traces this to an L.A. built taxi cab with 270 trim. Starts and runs with no problem. Brakes are shot. There is so much animal excrement that I think seats, carpet and headliner would have to be replaced just to get the smell out. Then there are a couple of areas with surface rust (that goes through to the other surface!) and I haven't opened the trunk yet. Too scared, no key, trunk lid has ... issues. I can get it for under a grand, but have to invest in a hazmat suit.
Your learned opinions are always welcome.

You have to respect a man who rolls in wearing his cover-alls and drinks the champagne of beers (old school long neck) . Mr. Bosker is a scholar and a gentleman.... and the owner of a beautiful truck
I only got to talk to him a short while, but he's got stories. One of those guys that knows a lot but says so little. Respect.

I think I would have to concur. Guess I will clean it up and take some measurements to see if the cam is not flat and give it a shot for the fun of it. Looks like it is pretty well used up. Def worthy of yard art.
Thanks for the info!
