The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop 1933-36. Questions about 207cu" engine?

Are any of you early stovebolters running this engine or have all of you "upgraded"?There's a core I'm looking at but if it's going to be useless scrap iron maybe I should pass?
Thanks much for any input.

We have a 36 1 1/2 ton fuel truck with a 207. Needless to say it is slow but seems like a good engine. We are restoring a 36 pass car. I havn't driven it but the engine sounds good. I rebuilt it many years ago.

If you have a use for it, there are still parts available to put it back into service, but they're scarce and expensive. I have a set of reconditioned rods for a 207 that I bought by mistake. They were advertised as "235" Babbited rods. It probably wouldn't be a good one to acquire on speculation, because there will be a limited demand for that engine. 216, 235, and 261 engines are a lot more popular simply because there are more vehicles still running which had those engines originally.

Thank you Wrenchbender and Hotrod.
Maybe I can trade some labor for it.

I has been a good motor. I have 2, 36 cars with them. Parts are available (clutch a little hard to find). Both run very well and will outlast me probably and make it a nice original. Just were not in production very long.
