Motor Update #2

UPDATE: I called Steve (see below) and he had a perfect engine for me, a 1985 Buick 3.8L for only $199.  Unfortunately, I waited until Saturday to go see the engine and it was sold by then!  However, someone else responded to my Ad.  As part of a parts liquidation they bought, they have a pair of rebuilt heads that are exactly what I need.  So, this should work out perfectly (I should have them by Tuesday and will provide an update then). Hopefully, this resolves the issues with my engine!

(03/25/2010) I placed a I-need-heads-for-my-buick-v6 ad on Craigslist tonight.  I got responses right away. I also located an engine (and tranny) for $125, a brand new rebuild engine in Kennewick for $500, and a running engine in Tacoma for $100.  It’s been a good day for parts hunting!

Steve contacted me. He’s local (actually lives in Eagle, Id).  He’s liquidating a bunch of rebuild motors with new re-manufactured blocks.  They are all being sold for $199.  You can read more about these motors here: http://boise.craigslist.org/pts/1650718277.html
If you like something you see in that list, let me know and I’ll check it out.

It looks like a parts jeep.

“Project Willys CJ2a jeep. The wheels in it are not included, just there for rolling it around the yard. The wheels pictures in front of it are included, there should be a fourth. I haven’t tried to run it but engine and drive train appear to be there and intact. Please reply though craig’s list if you would like to come see it. Ed”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.

I can’t tell what’s left to do, but it’s got some good components.

“This is a 1954 Willy’s M38A1. It has a Buick V6 bolted to a Turbo 400 that in turn bolts to a Dana 300 transfer case. The V6 has Hedman headers and HEI ignition set up. This Jeep also has a brand new Hurst shifter set up. It sits on BFG 33-12.50/15 all terrain tires, all tires are in good shape. The front bumper is custom and has a built in tow bar, whoever buys it will be able to tow it away. This was a project that has stalled out. I don’t have room for it, nor the time to finish it. There is work that needs to be finished for it to run. This Jeep will make a good rock crawler platform”
