Helped my friend load up some more engines from the building he sold. He has already hauled out about a dozen engines that are already rebuilt and about a dozen cores. Plus my last trip out there we grabbed a few along with some other misc parts.
This haul was 17 engines if i counted right. I didnt count them until after the tarp was on so i counted from the pictures.
One was a yblock and one early cadillac v8 with trans.

Im afraid loading them was the easy part...





Oh plus one trans from an f7 or f8 truck.

I think there are about 70 more engines left to move. Mostly flatheads. A couple olds v8's and few other vintage engines. Model a etc.
I must be a really good friend....

 

Is that Roger's?

 

Yep. I wish he had found a buyer to buy the whole lot though.
Oh, and i bought another trailer. This one is a little bit smaller than the red triple axle but if i cant keep it busy ill flip it since i bought it right.

 

You mean so you didn't have to move them, or is he closing up? Do I hear a Christmas sale coming?

 

What's the plan for all those engines?

 

Talk about candy canes or an ole man with a new fishin pole? Would a 337 air cleaner
be in the pile???

 

Nice Haul!

 

If someone finds two of these, please let me have dibs on the second one.

 

I can rescue one of those cores. And give it a forever home!

 

Correction. First load was 19 engines.
And just made a second trip. Had 21 engines this time. Some olds rockets with transmissions a cadillac with trans. A couple flathead bare blocks, half dozen misc trans and the rest flat v8's
I figure he is about half way done with moving engines. Then a lot of pallets of misc parts etc.




2nd load





Destination. Will need long extensions on forklift if he needs one in the back of the pile....

 

Oh and one sbc. No 337 air cleaner assembly. Sorry.

 

That's just mind-boggling!

 

Unreal. I have 4-5 flatheads laying around and I thought that was a bunch!

 

Ya. Im in that same boat, ive got 5 flatheads in the garage (3 blocks and two complete) and two under the carport.
(Thats about 5 too many. )

 

So a couple weeks ago we made another load, however we must have been tired or lazy with hooking them, we had two early engines fall and broke the bellhousing, I should have been fired but no such luck.

I also found an 8ba and two merc cranks from out in the desert. one merc crank was being used as a counterweight on the rear blade of an 8N tractor. I didn't have much hope for them but I can't ever say NO! so
the first crank has been sandblasted, tanked, magged and ground I think .01 mains .02 rods iirc? (still at the shop) I'm still laughing about that, guess you just never know.
