That's not lightning, it's the badass, it's so strong it's visible. The orange manifold ends surely add at least 5 hp as well. Razz


We could all use more badass in our lives. And 5 hp. Laughing

How about a quart of water in the oil with plenty of sludge, yet, all the pistons, cylinders, crank, cam had virtually no rust and it turned freely by hand? Shocked

Wow! Shocked Either the water wasn't in there long or some additive lent a protective coating to the parts! What's the backstory on this?
That sludge is pretty funky-looking, is it metallic-grainy or something else?

I think the water was in there a long time. I got the engine out of a 411 in the junkyard and the dipstick was out. I think water came in there, possibly there for decades. I guess some oil settled to the top and protected it. I was very lucky for sure Very Happy

I thought that was heat wrap on the j-tubes, then I realized it's 9 welded joints!
That's a lot of work to save $25!

That's what I was thinking too. Or maybe a gyrocopter or a fanboat? The exhaust makes me think it would have been facing the rear of whatever it was powering.

I don't think that's an abortion engine but definitely seems like a crazy price and I'm curious how they know it's "good running".

It's definitely Whine thread material

Huh, what do you think the random fluid-bottle laying atop the battery is for?

Hmm, on the positive side it appears to have the flaps in the shroud, and yet the heater-boxes are naked and have been for who knows how long!
Definitely doesn't fit the 'Condition: 2 (very good)' category. Rolling Eyes
Odd that this person has been a member so long (since 2004) and this is their first-ever activity too.
I'd buy it for 15% of that price if it was local, like I paid for four of the five semi-complete engines I've picked up over the years.
No way I'd be shipping a mystery engine from coast-to-coast at any price though! Laughing

Shocked this just came up in the forums! Holy crap! They welded shut holes in the air intake distributor and the runners and cut a hole in the Air intake distributor and bolted a carb on top from a bug. Then they made a custom engine cover with the air cleaner sticking into the back storage area
