karasmer Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I recently bought a pretty large parts lot where I can take or leave what I want. In the garage are 3 flathead 6's believed to be circa 1934 Dodge (all the other parts were) Think it's worth the while hauling and storing these, any demand? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35cz8 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I have a 1936 Dodge RS cp that had a later engine in it and when I started looking for the right engine (D-2), I was VERY happy that someone had saved old flatheads because it gave me the chance to make my car right. I - myself - would save them if you have the room to store them and try to find people that are needing them to keep their restorations right. Then again, I am a real stickler when it comes to the right parts for a car. Good luck.Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ply33 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 33 and 34 Plymouth and Dodge L-6 engines are a bit different from the '35 and up as they don't have the full length water jacket so the block is narrower and they use a different head. If you are trying to keep your car authentic are harder to find and you'd love to find usable parts or even a good engine core. That said, I haven't a clue on how long you might have to store them before you find a buyer and that can be a consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverdome Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Where are you at? What's the numbers on the blocks? How much? What is their condition? Any pictures? Edited June 4, 2015 by Silverdome (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karasmer Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Here is what I got so far, just some photos of 3 diff. engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ply33 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 At least the first shot is an engine later than 1934. There should be a alphanumeric identifier on the boss on the top front of the block on the distributor side above where the generator mounts. What are those IDs?

karasmer Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 I will pull some numbers on Monday and see what's there, hate to leave them for the scrappers but it will be a lot of work getting them home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30DodgePanel Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I hate to leave them for the scrappers but it will be a lot of work getting them home. That's putting it mildly... I know I don't have any more space or the financial ability to save them. We all understand what you're up against. Tough call but you gotta make it.
