so I have a 318 POLY in a 66 fury. I know the previous owner of the car so I know the engine was overhauled in 1997, driven a year and then electrical gremlins overtook the car and its been sitting since.
A few months ago, I oiled it up by priming the pump and spraying oil in each cylinder.
I got it started but for a very short time. The carburetor need replaced or rebuilt from sitting so long. I'm convinced it's a good engine however a poly is just not in my build plans.
So what's the best way to sell a good engine:
Do I leave it in the car so a prospective buyer can crank it and see it in the car.
Should I rebuild the carb so it runs?
Should I take pics and pull it and have it ready to load.
I would prefer I pull it myself because I'm saving the car, its not a junker or parts car, it's one I'm going to fix and love.
What do you guys think is the etiquette for a situation like this.
