What was it the PT Barnum said??

[BobT-47P15]

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.

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

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.

Links appear to be broke.

[dezeldoc]

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.

[Alshere59]

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.

[thrashingcows]

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.

another edmunds aluminum head on e-bay start bid at 950

I do not have that kind of money...here is what i did.....Bought bolt on chrome fins....the guy put hard flat washers under the head bolts and welded to them 1/8 X 1/2 flat bar and then had it chromed....best $150.00 I spent...if i could reduce my pics I would put one on...I'll keep trying....if you want a large pic I will e-mail one to you.

[desoto1939]

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.

..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...

[suntennis]

Today in Phoenix, Arizona craigslist, there is a Edmonds head for $900, Offenhouser dual intake for $250 and a Fenton dual exhaust for $300.

[tysouthwick]

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

Believe me,, I'm not buying anything but gas.

[deathbound]

Way out of my price range!
