'70s Smallblock C6 for sale

handy_andy_cv64 · #1 08-04-2009, 09:08 PM

As some of you know, I pulled a 351W/C6 out of a '78 Econoline van, and I decided I'm not going to go through the hassle of converting the trans in the Ranchero. So the C6 is for sale, a rebuildable core that does work, and I'm asking $150 firm on this. For any of you who are considering this for a 2WD project or a hot rod, the internals are a little more durable than in '80s C6 incarnations (but it does run type 'F' fluid), so PM me if you're interested.
Edit as of 10/19/09: I see that no one's even responded to this ad, but I'm patient, so I'm amending the ad to include the engine on this combo I've pulled, and make mention that I found out the Econoline they came out of was a '76 (which I didn't find out about until I tried to scrap the van; the title and van didn't match! What a headache!). I'm hoping someone in the Pacific Northwest needs such a combo to get a car, truck or van running. For $500, it is the engine, minus the 2bbl carb, spacer plate and dizzy, but comes with a brand new starter. The van ran and drove, but never overheated and had fair hot oil pressure. So if you're interested, please contact me at Handy_andy_cv64@hotmail.com or by PM here and on Fullsizebronco.com. To repeat:
'76 351W/C6 for sale now at $500. Thank you.

Wish you were closer... I found a guy looking for a C4 today.. this would trump a c4 all to hell.

And where would "closer" be?

I thought BlackDog was in Idaho...

The trans is officially gone. I now have an ATF mess in the back of my Ranchero to clean up; it's what I get for not draining the trans immediately.

The engine is still available, if you're interested. $200 or trade(?).

Can you put that 351w in one of those "If it fits, it ships" boxes for me? Ya know, maybe with a little extra tape?

Bump. Good luck on the sale.

That must be some box....
Ha ha, that reminds me of the scene from Ghostbusters, where they're going after Slimer in the hotel:

"What are you guys? Some kinda astronauts?"
"Nah, we're exterminators. Someone saw a cockroach on the 12th floor."
The man looks at all of them and says,
"Must be some cockroach."
"Bite your head off."
