is the 56 308 engine worth taking a look at?

Is it Hudson-related? Does William Shatner over-act? Is Britney Spears over-rated?

Sure, why not. The 1956 models had hydraulic lifters. If you could pick it up for $200.00, maybe the guy who paid over $400.00 for Twin-H linkage on eBay would want another set.

What a plan! What a plan! One never knows.

Still no bids the last time I checked.



I was sort of thinking about what would be involved in a ~1750 mile road trip over the Christmas holidays....

That engine looks like it sat in the rain for forty years. Probably a good anchor weight by now.

Well, like these guys pointed out, it does have the double groove crankshaft pulley, a Twin-H setup, and a 12V starter. If you could get it for ~$400 you could make your money back (or more) just on those items.



Just MAYBE it's a decent block and it would have the valve reliefs of the later engines. If it wasn't so far away I'd probably gamble on it- not for $1k but for something less.

I'd like to use in the 51 p-maker rather then the 327 I built for it. Oh well, I'll bid.

sold for 355 , not to me. . . couldn't up the bid on my Treo quick enough. Another reason to get an iphone.
