Extra A Engine!

I found a gentleman on Craigslist that was selling parts off of a 29 Sport Coupe that he is turning into a hot rod. Really nice guy, and long story short, I ended up getting the original engine and transmission from the car, as well as the rumble seat. It feels nice to have an extra engine now! [emoji2]

Have you heard it run, and do you know any history on it?

The only engines I heard run before buying them were the two most expensive engines I bought and they sounded great. Turns out neither one was so great after I got into them. Hope you have better luck with your's, but you are right, that it is nice to have a spare engine.

That's what I'm planning on doing, working on it as I get time so it will be ready to drop in when the day comes.

I didn't hear it run, but only paid 100 bucks for engine and ******, so I'm not worried at all.

The block and head not cracked and the ****** complete, you made a great find.

You made a great buy and your logic is soundproof ! Congratulations. Wayne
 
I agree, at that price you can't loose.
I've bought a few engines for that price also, and I bought them because they looked like they had run fairly recently and may have been pulled for a rodding project.
