Scrap iron value unless it's in good running condition.

It would be a good idea to confirm it is a 51 engine. It could have been changed for something more desirable.


See the USA in your vintage Chevrolet!

Yes it is a 51 as it was my dads before me. I plan on updating with a new motor and just wondering what the old is worth to someone that is wanting to install an OEM motor?

Parting it out might be worth something to some of the guys. Things like the head if it isn't cracked, maybe crank ect....

What you want to do is KEEP that engine because it was the one that came with it. The next owner of your truck could possibly ask for the ONE engine that came with it.

For me it was single engine Pipers. Decided it was too expensive and soaring with the eagles was fine and all, but staying on the ground and using the same talents and interests on an old friend, these old trucks, just felt better. By the way, they like to be called Little People these days. wink
