Carla Larsen Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I have been offered a 6cyl engine to purchase along with a car. I believe it is about a 1925/26.The casting # on the L/H side next to the Buick logo is 189040-4. Above this is 0197. The serial number on the tag is 1949050. The nuts on the valve cover are of the acorn type. It has a down draft intake, which I believe to be not of the same year. What year is the engine? When did Buick use a down draft intake that would fit this engine? The engine is nearly complete, in dry storage, any thoughts as to value?Thanks,Carla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1939_Buick Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Worth asking in Buick - Pre WarThe guys will need a photo to start guessing value (which is very little)Down draft was about 1935. The manifold was probably turned over with and some other carb fitted Edited January 10, 2013 by 1939_buick (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drwatson Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 My serial # book puts it at 1928. It has some value, difficult to say how much since there are a number of unknowns ranging from bad to excellent. Somebody will want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
