'65 330 motor
I have a '65 cutlass convertible that someday I hope to have the time to restore. I have decided that I will be putting new technology into it for the motor/trans.
That said, are they worth anything? At this point they are just sitting around outside the car taking space and I'd damn near give it away to someone who wanted to use them.
A rebuild would definitely be needed. The car hadn't been started in almost 20 years when I got it a few years ago. It is not locked up.
Thoughts?

All of this is from my weak memory. We used to race a '64 Cutlass 330 convertible in the late sixties in, I believe C/SA (before the classes changed). It had the Jetaway 2-speed trans, Casler slicks and headers and turned in the low 14s. Other than that it was stock. We were unfortunate to be in a class with a local '59 Plymouth 383 with dual quad ram induction (where the carbs sat over the shocks!) called "The Spoiler" that ran on the National Record, around 13.80s. He won stock eliminator about every week and we won 2nd place in class . Bottom line? The engine performs respectably, even with the Jetaway.

I haven't been able to drive it yet. I was slammed in the face by life at about the same time the engine was delivered. I am getting very close though. If you want to know a bit more about it, here is a link to the engine build thread. It was built by Mark Remmell, AKA Cutlassefi here on the forum.
