my dad left me this engine after he past in March of this year. It has roughly 10000 original miles on it. I was wanting to know about what it is worth. Also have a short block in the same engine that has balanced and blue printed with an aluminum flywheel. Thanks for any help

 

More information needed.... I'm assuming this is a stock 371 (57 58) engine with all the stock carbs air cleaners and manifold and not a later 371 (baby 394 style engine) that has been modified.. Also the engine that has the aluminum flywheel is it for sure set up for a stick and you aren't looking at a flex plate and thinking it's a flywheel,makes a difference. What shape is the second engine, any history? Was daddy a drag racer or hot rodder? Were those 10,000 miles a 1/4 mile at a time? How were these engines stored? Will they turn over with a breaker bar and a 1 1/8 inch socket? Where are you located.... Tedd

 

Welcome to the site... Definitely more info is needed... Any photos available to help identify the engines???

 

Tedd, I think you asked all the questions I wanted to know. Pics would definitely be needed.

Yep. Location could be the deal breaker.

 

Sounds like some cool stuff. Welcome to Classic Oldsmobile. We would love to see pictures.

Sorry I have not been able to respond back. The complete engine has the original oil bath double breather. And yes the fly wheel is aluminum because a magnet won't stick to it. I have a few pics to send. It's in a corner tied up with stuff all around it. And it's been covered up real good. I live n North Carolina near Charlotte. Not sure how to send pics thru this form.

 

Still many unanswered questions
