Well, Sort of... here's the deal.
My parts car contains said motor. It is a 1959 Mark 1. The most
important missing part(s) are the camshafts and rockers. It's also
missing some accessories (like carburators) and the oil pump. Basically
a 3.4L block, crank, pistons, oil-pan, heads (minus camshafts), aluminum
cam covers (need polished for sure, might need replacement- I haven't tried
cleaning them). The motor is full of oil, which I take to be a good
sign, but I've never seen it run (I've only owned the car a few weeks).
The PO assured me that it was driven to it's final resting place, where it
sat for the last 15 years...
If you want it, I might be inclined to throw in the auto tranny too.
I live in a duplex, with little storage, and don't have room for a dead car.
When I bought the car, I needed a place "right away" and rented a parking
spot at a self-storage place. It's kind of expensive. All I'm looking
for in exchange for this motor is an 'indefinite' place to store & disassemble
my car that's reasonably close to where I live in Mountain View, CA. Actually,
I can't imagine it taking more than a year to get everything I want off it.
To 'seal' the deal, if you've got a trailer and a come-a-long and can get the
car there that would be a big bonus... You get to pull the motor yourself,
but I can probably lend a hand.
All offers welcome. Somebody out there must have space in an old barn and a
use for this motor... I've got until the end of May to find a place- or I
get to pay another months rent :-(.
I imagine this motor would really make a TR6 go zoom :-).
