1968 W30 Engine

Complete 68 W30 less carb and distributor. Appears to be a virgin engine with steel shim head gaskets, nylon timing gear and original hardware.
D heads, correct water pump and very nice correct exhaust manifolds. This engine has not been dissembled and I will not do so because its only
original once. $6000.00

68 W30 engine











I bought the W30 engine with a lot of Olds parts from a friend who was closing his machine shop. The customer was a big Olds guy who dropped off the engines and parts and for ]reasons unknown he never came back .
This engine was in his shop for many years in dry climate controlled storage. The engine spins easy, no rust in cylinders. Still has steel shim head gaskets, nylon timing gear and original hardware and does not appear to ever been apart.
I do not want to tear down as it is only original once.

What posi carriers do you have? If they are O-Type, then there are likely a lot of folks who would be interested in them. Heck, folks would be interested in 8.5" or 8.2" posi carriers as well. Post some info on them, such as casting numbers, and what rear they are for if you have that info.

How much do you want for the 69 G Block?
Is the block a standard bore?
Condition of the block?
