I need some help please

Hi guys, I am new to this area and I have a real problem. I need to find a 351 Windsor that is preferably and EFI motor. I cant find one anywhere that is reasonably priced. Does anyone have one or know where to get one? Any help would surely be appreciated. Thanks

estigen,

What do you consider a reasonable price? Do you want a new one, rebuilt, or a junkyard engine?

I just bought a 460 from a junk yard for $450. I just went down the list in the phone book and called each one up. If they didn't have one, I asked if they could recommend one.

I dunno about new or rebuilt. I'm too cheap for that...

'85 Yamaha XJ700 Maxim
'83 Mustang convertible up on blocks

I am looking for a core to build. I called around and the one that I did find, the guy wanted $800 for it, and he didnt know if it ran or not. I think that the $300 range is reasonable for a core that is complete.

Have you checked with the machine shop that is doing the work for you? Sometimes they have blocks around for sale.

I work at a salvage yard in Cottonwood, which is near camp verde. We have a computer system that links us to yards around the world, and im sure we could find you one at a good price. If your interest, drop me an e-mail kelly@commspeed.net. Good luck bud,
Kelly
