67 Cutlass Freak

Back in 2004 a friend of mine wanted to build a drag car. He was fresh out of high school and worked at my shop as a clean up kid. He didn't know much about mechanicals, but he seemed eager to learn. I gave him a nice '86 Cutlass with a fresh Turbo 400 and a 12 bolt rear end. I also gave him a 1972 350 engine along with a 330 crank and some Ga BB heads. I showed him what needed to be done to port them but he didn't get too far. I finished the heads for him. I probably have close to 80 hours into them. I bought a bunch of parts for this engine and paid for all the machine work. My friend went into the military and lost interest. He came back from Iraq, got married and had two kids. The car was scrapped but I got the trans and I picked up the engine from the machine shop. I kinda lost track of how much money that I sunk into this thing, so I got out all the receipts and put together this spread sheet. The compression may be too high for pump gas, and I really think it's not going to be very streetable. My car is set up for a BB so I really have no need for this engine. The block is from 1970-1972. The crank and flexplate are original from my 1967 330. I have plenty of core heads if someone wants to purchase a complete running engine that can be arranged. For anyone who is really interested , I can e-mail all the photos taken and blue print data compiled during assembly. I will also throw in a stock oil pan, a split timing cover and an HEI distributor with low miles.

I have all the receipts for this engine. The asking price is $2800. That is a $1000 loss for me, but I really need to sell something to finish my car. This engine is located in SE Wisconsin. I would rather not ship this, but I will supply a cradle and help load. If you need more info you can call me @ 847-740-3283 or PM me here. Thanks for taking the time to read this novel- Dave
