I was wondering what a fail price should be for a motor? any thoughts...... | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 874 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 874 |
Is it a full pressure 235?
Does it run? If so does it smoke?
Have good compression? How many miles on it?

They're not exactly scarce..on any given day there are
4 or 5 on ebay. From "as-is" to rebuilt. $100-S1,900.
For an as is that has no known problems I personaly wouldn't
pay more that $350. Just too many around...of course hopefully
one is near you..that counts too.
Just my $.02

It is running and in a panel truck, with 170K miles on it, it has new heads and carb and he wants 600.00 for it. Even at that it was much more than I am willing to part with considering my 216 only has 27K miles on it and has leaky seals.
If I could find one for 350, I agree that would be best. Are the passenger car 235s the same, I have someone that has a 1957 235 they are looking to get rid of.

Otherwise there won't be enough clearance between the 57's water pump with the fan installed and the radiator. | | |
