Four Motors and a Crank

[Bob Riding]

After finally cleaning out the barn, I was able to take stock of my engine collection. I have no need of these engines - but will not scrap them- I have room to store them, but they should be operating in some Plymouth or Dodge somewhere. They all turn over and I know that Dodge 218 was running a few years ago in my Business Coupe.

I haven't done the Craigslist thing yet. I will offer them to Forum members for free - you pay for shipping- if you are in California and want to pick them up, that would work better.(we can share a glass of my award-winning Cab to celebrate)

The engines are :

*P10 - 201cu in

*P20 - 218 cu in

*D14 - 218 cu in

*rebuild - 218 cu in

I also have the bell housings, and other misc engine parts, including intake and exhaust manifolds. Oh yeah, the crank was machined .020 and was out of the D14 Dodge (still in the wrapper from the machine shop)

Thanks

Bob

Hi, where are you located in CA?

[Frank Elder]

How do you have the crank stored.....? Is it on end?

[Dodgeb4ya]

Hopefully Flat, in protective dunnage during service pack. Hope this doesn't turn into a cranky situation!

Hanging they stretch, standing they settle, laying they sag..........supported andprotected they remain undisturbed! We are still talking about crankshafts aren't we;)

[Bob Riding]

I'm near Fresno. The crank has been horizontal, wrapped in plastic since about '04.

I'd be interested in 1 or more as have two projects with no motors.

49 and 50 business coupes.

When i say i have, actually a friend and i have. Been lobbying him for about a year to put a mildly hopped up flattie in the 49 instead of the 340 he thinks he wants. Now he's showing keen interest with the offer of a free motor.

We live in modesto and area.

Please contact me at,

Thanks,

Doug

[Bob Riding]

I'll call you today.

[DJ194950]

Thanks for the call Bob.

Will call later about get together on Sunday.

Thanks again,

Doug and Larry

If a crank will strech while hanging it will twist while under torq, and should be avoided at all cost....it takes a lot to mis-shape a crank by the position it is in. Best way to store it is standing un-wrapped and sealed up with cosmoline or grease...my 2 cents worth

I would like to thank Bob Riding for his offer of the motors.

My friend Larry and I met with Bob sunday and he helped load two of the motors for free. One a complete long block unknown year (remfg.? tag only), and a also complete p-20 motor. Fairly appropiate for a 49 bus. coupe soon to be upcoming project and a 50 bus. coupe ,Unknown start on put together on this one! Great outter body but NO inner sheet metal!

I know it should have a P-17 motor for the 49 but it's not going to be a complete resto show type car anyway.

Took my camera to get pics, but between loading time, looking at Bob's 40 woody Finished chassis and motor, OD trans, 51 very complete stock unrestored Suburban and a few others, pics just didn't happen. Sorry all!

Lastly, Thanks very much again BOB!

Doug and Larry,

Great meeting you guys. I was glad we could find a home for a couple of the motors, and I really enjoyed chatting and learning about your cars and plans. Sorry we didn't have more time to chat. The toilet did get installed- wife happy.

There are still two motors left for any other Forum members- a P10 (201 cu in) and a D14 (218 cu in).

Come and get 'em!

Bob
