1957 desoto 301 and cast 727 for sale
i have a 57 desoto engine i just picked up today, and after checking with a couple guys I thought might want it, theres noone that needs it right now. the story on it is it was garage kept since pulled out of a 57 desoto about roughly 10 years ago when it was replaced by a 413. It is not grimmed up too bad, the numbers i got off the block say 1737929. the intake says in three places 1630944 : S8-6 : 0267 . I dont have the head #'s right now but will add them later tonight. The engine is not seized, and turns over fairly easy. you get what you see in the pictures. It was garage kept all those years, and for the time being its outside, covered very well with the intake plugged. along with it, if wanted is a 57 cast iron tranny. I dont know too much about the tranny, its an auto pushbutton with the parking brake on the drum at the end of the tailshaft. I think its a 2 speed, but im not possitive. it comes with a torque converter, but no flex plate. it it weighs roughly a little over 200 lbs. see pics. it was kept inside aswell, and will remain inside til bought or scrapped. I have no idea what this would go for, if anything. I hate to list it with no price, but best offer takes it.
if anyone wants any more info, dont hesitate to ask.
*parts by tanny in photo are for magnum 318 not the poly *
the wd-40 was just to be able to see the numbers. also nothing on the trans is locked up. the linkage works good, and the kickdown moves.
pickup only. will deliver to the august 13,14,15 mopar nationals in columbus
