They're pretty much worthless. I pay scrap value plus a dollar for them and any old speed parts you have, though. I make them into coffee tables.
type in top end speed shop in search on here should bring up site with all kinds of speed info on bangers Ken
Dont know how early you want, but one of my buddys has a 60s 153 4 cyl, thats almost complete....in good shape, I think he's of a mind to move it.
snyders antique is a good source for parts. i just bought modern internals for my distributor from them.
that's a great idea ruining a banger. that's what I'm putting in my new car its amazing how much damn money they cost and how much work they are to put together. i probably got in over my head and bought a riley head. and trying to get a pepco supercharger to add to the whopping 120hp butt more input or sites would help. or if you got parts that u want to sell or donate to a good cause (me) please p.m. me thanks.
how about some more info guys. What kind of tranny selections are adaptable to these early motors? Any open drive tranny? Are these suitable for highway speeds(65mph)?
yea check out f.a.s.t. and i think that crap about being able to build a hot v8 flatty for less is pure bull!!! they run better than most people think! i really enjoy diving mine around. and they are not soooooooo prone to over heating!!! i say go for it!!!!
Donovan Engines is casting an aluminum A block with iron liners, insert bearings, 5 mains, counterbalanced crank, I and H beam rods, and high compression pistons. They also cast aluminum heads, timing covers, bellhousings, and manifolds that interchange with stock parts. Twice the power, half the weight, and concours correct except for the magnet test! Just a bit pricey, but its only money.... Dan
There is a series of two posts on here about a guy putting an S10 5-speed behind his 'banger in a Model A.
Bloody fucking thanks guys. Just as I'm struggling to deal with the fact that after being so dead set for putting a an 8 in the rpu, then messing with 4 in it and realizing it: 1. is not in bad shape 2: would be different. These sites don't help my dilemma any. THANKS.
