Done measuring and thinking. Time to cut***** up. Half day at the shop tomorrow and the rest of the weekend is mine. So who wants a free '55 Pontiac 287 ci? Don't no if it runs, don't care. The odometer shows 61K and that may be all because the pedals show no wear. It is covered with that Texas red dust. Looks to be in good shape from outward appearances. Oil filter stickers, air cleaner stickers, plugs etc. I'll pull the vc's tomorrow night at the least, otherwise I don't want to***** with it. It goes. And that may be a problem. Like now. No room. Come and get it. Oh, the trans to.
someone needs to rescue it. i'd take it just cause it's free but i'm not drivin 12 hours to get it. BTTT
Hey, this might be just the thing for that old black truck I got from you. Seriously. What******* is with it? r
Maybe you should just swap it into your daily? Keep collecting free motors and you can have one of everything. Hahaha.
Hey Grim, you want the 250 back in your garage? I can deliver it for you. I'm keeping the front motor mount though. Thanks. r
Yes the easy 3 speed w/ an extra for parts. Which don't seem to be many. I should have put it in the classifieds for 200. Maybe then it would seem worth it. Come on it's called a friggin Strato Streak. How cool is that? And '55 may be the only year for the c.i.?
Ravin I wondered if you would see that one. I thought about it my self but no way to haul it. When ya goin' after it? Shotgun
Hey someone tell Ravin that we're goin' after his new motor. As soon as one of us gets a runnin' truck.
it is the only year pontiac made a 287 cubic inch engine. if the transmission is an automatic then it is a hydramatic. if i was in that neck of the woods i'd trade you something for it. shit, i could really use that stuff! anyone coming to california from that area?
axle, I see you on the poncho board often. And that Rocky has even jumped in there. Have a few Pontiac or die friends that hang there. I don't know what the hell is wrong with them, but what are you gonna do? I can't throw it away, not in me. But sometimes you gotta get people moving. I know, I'm one of them. If you can get someone to claim it for you, it's yours. Did I mention it turns over?
this is askin a hell of a lot...but is anyone going to VLV from that neck of the woods? wood love to put that drive train in my merc!
If RAVEN dosen't want it I will take it off of your hands! I need a project! If I have an engine sitting around my wife will want more than anything for me to get it out of the garage after a while. But the only way it would leave the garage is in a RPU! It would be a great start! I could come and get it an a week or two! Cody
Son of a beee-otch! I somehow didn't see this thread until just now. I'd love to score the hydro and both halves of the fluid coupling if it doesn't get claimed. I'd drive down [in the Rocky Goodtime van] to pick it up.
injectedA- does that thing have the manual brake master sandwiched in the frame rails? If it does, I sure could use it when you get around to throwing it away. Can't use another engine right now, though. FarmerJohn might know a kid who could use the carburetor. Bil
Bill, it was great to stop by your place today. I am very stoked to get the engine cleaned up! Thank-you!!! You are the man! Cody
