1927 Big Six engine and trans. for sale

[farmerfrank]

I have what I believe is a 1927 Studebaker Big Six engine and transmission that I need to sell. It is mounted on wood skids and appears to have been used in a mill to run machinery. The radiator and grill shell are included. The manifolds have been mounted upside down and a downdraft carb installed. There is no starter, distributor, or generator. The engine has been stored indoors for many years. I have no idea of the condition of the internals. As a bonus...also included is an additional 3-piece bare Bix Six block with crankshaft - probably the same vintage. At this time I do not have any engine serial numbers - I will try and get those posted later. The engines are in Mooresville, NC, and are the last items to sell in my father-in-law's estate. The house is going up for sale soon, so I need to get the engines moved out. The photos show the second block in the background. I have additional photos if you want to see something else. Bring your muscles and bring your $$. Money talks. I'm not sure what's fair, so I'll start with $500 - let's talk!

Here are the promised engine numbers:

The engine no. on the wood skids is: GB22144. That would mean it is from a 1928 Commander.

The engine no. on the bare block is: EW27916. This is from a 1927 Commander.

Since they are not exactly the same, I would be willing to sell them separately. I am open to offers.

Time is short! The house closes on September 28th. Still looking for a serious offer for one or both engines.

Hi Wil,
Both of the engines are gone. Maybe rbk can be of help to you.
