parting out my poly instead of selling it whole
Posted: Tue Aug 02, 2005 10:32 pm
Ok... I am giving up on my poly motor because, well, it just isn't working out... So... Here is the deal, these parts are for sale. I will be using the funds to finance an overhaul of a newer 318 which I will be putting in this car. Jump on this stuff quick. As soon as I have enough in hand to order some parts for the LA motor, I will pull the poly apart to ship stuff to whoever has bought it. Most accessories I will be reusing though, such as the alternator, the starter, and well, that is actually it. Everything else is for sale as you see it listed below. Engine as a whole has 47,000 on it, 2500-3000 of that since being rebuilt. It has had heating problems that I have not been able to solve. Know that when you buy. There have been 2 different sets of heads on this block, and the heating problem has been persistent, so I think it is something to do with the block, but who really knows. I guess at this point, if I put the LA in it and it still has troubles, then I know where the problem was, anyway!
Rebuilt heads: Has new intake and exhaust seats, new guides, new valves, springs, locks, retainers, have been magnafluxed, decked, rocker arms refaced: $450.00 Can ship via usps, as they are only 60 pounds a head.
Untouched 43,000 mile heads: could be bolted on and run, includes rocker arms and shafts: $150
Polished aluminum finned valve covers: Paid $400, will take $325.00
2 oil pans, both painted, minimal dents: $35.00 Each
2 Timing covers, both painted, one has a chunk out of the area by the seal, doesn't affect the seal: $25.00 each
1 set of 59 Exhaust manifolds, were sandblasted and painted, paint is burning off, no choke stove flapper thing, all through bolts, no studs to break: $75.00 for the pair
2-4 barrell induction set-up. Includes manifold that was shot blasted and painted silver, 2 Edelbrocks, one 500 and one 650 that was jetted down to a 500, progressive linkage, and a adjustment kit that includes multiple rods and jets, as well as 2 6 inch chrome air cleaners: $575.00
Hot Heads adaptor for the poly to a small block trans: I have cut a section out of the bottom so that access to the torque convertor bolts is possible. Believe me, it wasn't before! Paid $350: $275.00
Rebuilt block: Warning, has had heating issue, buy at your own risk, I think this is where the problem is, as nothing I have tried has solved this problem! Does have a nice crank, original pistons, not overbored, rods where honed, carries nice oil pressure, doesn't smoke, has a 264 duration cam with new lifters, new cam bearings, new timing chain: $450.00
I may separate the block for anyone who is interested if I don't sell it whole.
Prices may be negotiable. Doesn't hurt to ask... Trades to be considered: LA 4 barrell intake, LA headers, preferably chrome or coated, others may be considered.
