Model A Engine for Rebuild

You never know. I helped a friend restore a 1912 Model T engine that looked worse than that. I guess it all depends how much effort and money you are willing to invest. Generally I would try to find a block perhaps in a little bit less "weathered" condition. I cringe thinking about trying to get those studs removed....
 
I sold a clean complete dry storage '31 engine last year for that amt of money. Guess I sold it too cheap!
 
Good afternoon...That engine might be worth $100, but until it can be pressure tested to see what cracks it might have...among other sins...it's just a lonely old block with no place to go! Ernie in Arizona
 
I like to play craps...poker too.When assessing a core engine its (in my opinion) better to find one completely assembled,generally disassembled engines indicate someone toreit down and gave up on it

That's exactly my thinking on it too. I've walked away from bare blocks many a time. Very often they come with no main bearing caps.:mad:
 
I was looking for a new mooring. No grease or oil on this one. Looks like it could work.

Need to get for free! What do you guys think?

Enjoy.
 
Scrap price till magnafluxed for cracks. Had one that looked just like that but had NEW babbitt. The fellow I sold it to for $100 put a super charger on it! We didn't know about the new babbitt till he opened it up!
