This has been sitting in the shop for 20 years or so...

Sold my F-85, cleaning out.

Thanks!

 

 

scrapping soon, hate to do it....

 

I've got one, too, in a corner.

If you keep it for fifty years, it'll be so rare that it may be worth something, otherwise, scrap value is probably the best you'll be able to do.

I agree, it's a shame, but realistically, nobody wants them.
You could try offering it free or really cheap on CL - someone else with some corner space may take it just to hold onto it.

I thought I marked it free....I just want it gone.

Thanks!

 

Wish you were closer, I would take it.

 

Thanks guys, I just hate throwing stuff away that has some value to someone.

 

I completely understand.

I just scrapped one that ran good could not give it away, even on craigs list.only had it a year that was long enough for me

 

Yeah, figured this is headed that way.....bull-headed

 

Its a shame to scrap it , its unfortunate to those who could use it but shipping costs would be to expensive.
I see Larry could use it if he were closer, I wonder if the shipping costs would be worth it to Larry since you offered it up for free.
I wouldn't mind helping out with a few $$ along with others willing to help cover shipping costs to him, if he's really in need of a good running engine.

I don't need it that bad. Just got a bare 403 block. I could strip some parts off of it. The 350 I have is a good motor. A new motor can wait, body work first. Thanks for the offer though.

Do you still have your 455 on the side? I thought you were keeping your 350 until the 455 was ready to go into your car?
What would you do with the 260 if you got it?

Eric

 

I would use it to clutter up my garage even more, ha. Yes, I still have the 455. Gonna try to pull it this spring and get rid of the donor car. Don't know if it will go in my '76 or maybe get a G Body down the road for. It if the small block is running good ..you know how it goes. Things change.

If you do end up scrapping it and have the time be sure to remove all the parts that interchange with other engine sizes. Selling those items may give you a few dollars to make it worth your while.

Don't those things have same bottom end as a 350? Crank should be worth salvaging if so.
