SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD

I have a 100% stock and original SURVIVOR J-2 tri power engine for sale. This is the 371-312hp. Car had 65,000 miles before engine was pulled. This engine was removed from the car back in 1964 and has been wrapped up and in storage ever since. This is 100% complete from the air cleaner to the oil pan. Included is all the accessories. Engine spins over perfectly fine. There is no rust and it is not stuck or damaged. Air cleaner Previous owner was going to freshen it up before he put it in his 1957 Olds and bought a rebuild kit for it and never used it. This is included with this engine. You will never find another survivor J-2 engine like this ever. $2,500.

Please PM me if you are interested.

Thanks guys,
-Matt

Yes I noticed that. Realize that came up on the Internet with limited information other than keywords that I punched in. I've never joined a forum before and not exactly sure how this all works. With that said I am interested in a 1957,1958 or 1959 J2 Golden Rocket engine to restore for a customer . That seemed like a fair price and from my limited access to this page that's all I had to go by.Thanks

I know that seems like a shot in the dark, but if anyone knows where I can find an engine like this I would certainly appreciate the heads up.

My friend has a complete J-2 engine in his garage. I'm not sure of the year, but I do know it's complete. It's located in Southeastern, Indiana. I can ask him if it's for sale and get back with you.

Tony is building a stock turn key engine for me now. Full reco of course. Will be as it came from factory.
His website shows his work and there is a 371 there with tri-carb set-up.
If you think it is too dear, I have to then get it shipped to Australia.

Do you realize the 59 is a totally different engine than the 57 and 58 ?

That would be why I mentioned for him to look at the 371 on the website.


And NOT the 394.

Nope- the '57-'58's have a lower deck height than '59.

O K thanks! That narrows my choice to 57 or 58. I will keep that in mind!

Ebay has a manifold advertised as fitting 371 and 394. I thought I read somewhere both engines are different where the manifolds bolt on so will not fit both.


Offenhauser catalogue says there is a 'triple' high and low profile for 59-64.

The 1959 and 1960 371's were the same basic engine as the 59 - 64 394's, so the manifold's would interchange on those engines. The 57 and 58 371's are different.

Moonshine, I just spoke with my friend and he has a 1957 J-2 engine complete He's not sure if he wants to let it go. He's going to think it over and let me know.

Do you realize the original post was in 2011 and most of the additional posts were in 2014 and the engine had been long sold?

I'm just surprised that after 4 1/2 years, 65BO1's friend still hasn't made up his mind whether or not he wants to sell his engine.

If it was a car it would be sinking into the ground by now and he would still be saying "I am going to restore it one of these days".

You know how Oldsmobile Guys are, never want to sell, going to use it one day. The engine is in the corner of his heated garage, been there 20 plus years or more.
