Chevy II 4 Cylinder 153 and Mercruiser 140 HP Misc Engine Parts

Hey guys, I ran across the 153 Forum here and thought maybe someone might like some used Chevy II 4 cylinder (153) / Mercruiser 140 HP (181 cid) engine parts.


About 40 years ago my racing partner and I, for some sick reason, thought we might want to turbocharge a 4 cylinder and race it in a rail dragster. Well that didn't happen, instead we built a nitrous 383. Anyway we picked up various parts back then.


*I have two crankshafts, one is casting number 8522 it is forged with small counterweights, 1971 date code. Asking $50

*The other crank is casting number N39877 with much larger counterweights, I found N398776 as a valid casting number online, but this crank is machined right at the end of the 7, so maybe? the 6 was machined off at the factory? It has a 1971 date code. Asking $50

*I also have a Chevy II block, casting number 3833045, with a S/N F02I3E. This block is still greasy and I believe it would clean up with an overbore just fine. Asking $150

*The Mercruiser block (larger cylinder bore) slung a rod and poked a hole between the oil pan rail and below the water jacket. We were going to use it, braze up the hole and go. But I digress. That block is casting number 2770087, with a Mercruiser S/N of 353856 and a 1971 date code. This block was hot tanked 40 years ago and subsequently very rusty from sitting inside an old car. Every surface on it would need a "cleanup" p***. Asking $50

*Then there is a bare cylinder head. 1971 Date code. The head physically fits on either block. Asking $100

*There is also a camshaft and cam gear. I will include this with the first block that sells for no cost.

The cranks are rusty and would need to be turned. Really everything but the Chevy II block is rusty.

Make an offer for any piece part or all of it. The $125 price is just for attention and the fact that the board requires a figure.

I am in Hazel Green, Alabama

 

Head is spoken for.

 

I would let the remaining parts; both blocks, both cranks, camshaft go for $150 total obo.

 

Still have everything but the cylinder head. Motivated Seller. Would also swap for quality hand tools or maybe a more traditional sbc intake that I could more easily sell. Just trying to clean up a lifetimes worth of car parts.

 

I guess no one uses this sort of thing anymore. I do hate to s**** it, but it is taking up space. I will practically give it away if someone can use it.

 

Everything is now sold. Thanks
