Found this in the neighborhood

[AJ Johnson]

Found a frozen motor & transmission locally.

I was thinking about picking it up to tinker with. I figure, worst case I have a boat anchor, best case a motor that I can rebuild without having to take the running motor out of my Coronet.

Any thoughts on it? Waste of time, energy, & money?

Heck, there has to be 50 bucks worth of parts on the engine. If local, put a snipe bid on it. Eric

Yeah, if the crank is good your way ahead of the game. Should be a 230 crank.

For 50 bucks I'd go for it too.

Guys....the bid is starting at $50 and it has a reserve, so who knows how much he wants for it (I'm sure it won't be $50). Usually, with a reserve they want a lot, but don't want to show how much...in most cases. Just contact him through Ebay and tell him to cut to the chase and tell you what he really wants for it. This Ebay reserve thing is for the birds!

Well, obviously he has alot of money and work into that engine and he can't risk not getting his investment back, so you can't blame him fo placing the reserve on it, now can you?

I guess it helps to read the details!!( Even when they are in Bold Print) Nevermind. Eric

Keep an eye on it. When it closes without any bids you can make the deal you want MAYBE.

My thoughts are that it won't sell. There aren't a ton of old Mopar lovers around here & shipping is always a deal killer. I e-mailed him and he is pulling the motor and turning the 1946 into a street rod. I think I will wait until the auction is over and try to work out a deal.
