bye slant six, hello 318
I have bought 2 in the last year that were still in the vehicle, and I could see them running. Granted both were stock...but so would the 318 out of the 1973
One I bough out of a 1978 cordoba
the other out of a 1970 dodge 1 ton
You just have to look. I wouldn't sell them for under $600 cause I'm mean ;)
but any time I have said to myself...hmm, I think I should get another 360 engine...two or three weeks later I will have one for $300. You can buy one in a day for $500...not hard to find. they are everywhere...vans, trucks, cordobas, wagons. Granted that most came with a 318, but most people that are selling those rusted out heaps, just want it gone, so they will take alomost anything
If you look, you can find beater trucks or cars for $500 that run. just buy one and take the engine out. or ask if they want to sell the engine out of it. Thats how I got both of mine. One seller pulled it themself, the other gave me the hole truck for $300.
