Chevy engine source please
Friend of mine here in the UK wants to acquire two Chevy 400 small block engines.
He will completely rebuild them, so cut-outs are fine. What he needs is a source for these - a source that could be relied upon to provide the correct engines, in a rebuildable condition. He can organise freight back to the UK so long as the engines are on pallets. Any ideas guys? Thanks in advance. |
You know someone mentioned "availability" of the 400 cid engines on the Gashole site. I'd throw the 350 cid in the same pot here.
Compared to say, 5 years ago or so, these engines are getting harder to find in the "raw" state. They are very popular and plentiful as "re-builts" or "crate" motors. But used ones are getting really tough to come by. Especially if you want more than one. If I wanted to buy ONE right now, a used one, it would be difficult to find! Ernie |
The fastest place to get thm would be Memory Lane. A junkyard North of L.A. in Sun Valley. The phone number is 818-504-3341. They specialize in old muscle cars. Next door is Pick-a-Part where you go pull your own parts out. I cannot believe how many Jaguar XJ6's are there with rear ends complete. They have tons of small blocks, too. The yard is probably 1/4 mile wide and 1/4 mile deep with cars as far as the eye can see.
If you cannot find a source that can supply all you want, I'll get them for you. Seems to me the shipping will be the expensive part. Paul |
Paul - thanks - I will ask my friend to get in touch with you direct.
