If that's the case...you want em? Really, I'm looking for a good mix. I need bottom end more than anything...no doubt. I like to pull a skier and be able to get on plane fast(though I do have trim tabs). Of course, I'd also like to get up to 55mph at least.

i know i can get you low bottom end power mid range power . just do not know what you want to start with ? first need to see if you have any thing i can start to build on . if not i have some stuff

I do have a few other motors I'd like to get rid of. This is for anyone looking.

I have a nice 305 w tranny that came out of a 1994 GMC Sierra. I repoed the truck for a local bank. The truck was pretty much totaled in the rear end. The bank let the truck sit on my lot 9 months and had a huge storage bill with me. They decided they didnt want the truck and didn't want to pay the storage. I asked for the title several times, but never happened. I didnt have keys so I pulled ignition and through a battery in it. Fired right up, had good oil pressure, sounded great, even had cold AC. Think it had 88k on it. Been sitting on the motor/tranny for 2 years. Scrapped the rest.

Also got a 1952 straight six, complete motor. Been sitting for at least 10 years though. Came of my grandfather, then dads, now my 1952 Ford F2. Dad and I put a Chevy 350 in the old Ford, runs like a scalded dog. LOL Maybe not the best place to announce that type of transplant, but it looks good and runs great.

Also got a few other motors and quite a few old Rochester carbs. I'd have to look and see whats what.

Yeah, I already figured that. I'm sure your looking to move stuff, for space. That's why I through that "This is for anyone looking" comment in their.

As for Craigslist, tried with no luck.

I plan on listing the flathead here. As for the BBC I figured those move best. I had a hell of a time finding mine. Seems there in high demand and running low on donor blocks.
