    Free to anyone who can use it. It is locked up and and will need rebuilt.
    I kept this engine when I sold two 1950 buicks and wanted to put it in something but time money and space are in question now so I must make some room. I think it is a 262ci.

    - By the way does anyone know of any local events coming up in or around PA? I've been out of state working and missed all the ones I knew of...?
    THANX!

    It's 263ci, and I hope you find a good home for it locally. They're pretty heavy to ship around...!

    Hey Scotch,
    Yeah, me too! I would like to know that it will be used for something and not recycled...What do they weigh like 700lbs or so?

    Right about 700 yeah...I had to leave my 'new' one on the West Coast when I moved to the Midwest, and I'm not looking forward to the shipping bill to bring it to me once it's dyno'ed.

    But, it'll all be worth it in the end. Someone will love to have that engine you've got someday.

    Maybe if you tear it down, you can inspect it, un-stick it, and be able to move it around easier (in pieces, rather than complete). If you're trying to give it away, anyone interested in it might be happy to see it's not broken or blown up internally?
