I have a 1946 DeSoto engine that was professionally rebuilt in 1983. I ended up abandoning the restoration due to a divorce. The engine never even got started! I paid $900 to get the work done. Since then my ex has had it in (our) her garage. In the cellar I have a semi-automatic tranny that went with it along with the rear-end. Only the engine was done over. The engine was stripped of Carb, Distributor, and if memory is correct maybe the oil pump... other than that it is intact and I said NEVER even run. If anyone is interested in buying these items, email me at dangendron@verizon.net. The items are in CT, I am in MA. Please email me. I am not one to always look over these boards. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
