Checking out an engine from local ad. From the numbers so far I` ve deduced its a 235 from 58 to 62 out of a car w/powerglide. Guy says it was rebuilt and never installed...been sitting in his shop undercover for 30 years. $500.00 It`s a 30 mile drive over to check it out but he could be negotiable on the price. Pics don`t look all that great so I wanted to see for myself. Also check out if it`s got oil in it (says it turns over) what parts are there etc. I`ve chased a few of these motors and currently have a couple That I`m starting to spend time on. One 62 with solid lifters that likely needs a rebuild and a 58 that very possibly needs a broken ring replaced. Without bringing it home and putting it on the run stand, is there any other items I could check out to help confirm it`s worth risking money and possible banishment to the shop over?
