I'm parting it out and wondering what the engine is worth as I have several interested local bolters. Any advice would be appreciated.

If it is painted it will bring more than if it is not. That being said, I got my spare, a running, pretty 1953 216, free of charge from a fellow Stovebolter: Burgandybolt.
1951 3800 Be the change you want to see. -hotshoe

I guess I should have listed it here on "parts for free".

I offered mine "Free to a Good Home" and gave it to a fellow Bolter who drove it 2000 miles fully loaded and pulling a trailer. Just mine 2 cents. Why are you giving up on it, if I may ask?

In 40 or 50 years it will be one of a kind! Yea, the way these things are going to scrap yards that might not be a bad idea. Could this another one of those things that come to mind down the road when you say "If I had only known then what I know now." | | |
