ia-k Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 My son went scrapping and brought these engines home. These straight 6s I don't recognize. Any idea on make/manufacture/year? They all look to be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably would have been gone by now but the yard closed at noon and he didn't get there in time. After I seen them I thought I would ask what they were as I didn't recognize them.

dl456 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Please do not scrap these engines. They. Have a value above scrap price. List location and price and give them a week or so . List the numbers for positive Identification. Once scrapped, they are gone for good.’ Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Located near Mason City, IA - 50401 $200.00 for all 3 engines. They are on a trailer and have no way to left them off except by hand, or some sort of lift the buyer would bring. The trailer owner would like his trailer back by the 1st part of October. I will try to get the numbers that I can find/see. Any numbers more important than others? If a specific picture is needed I will try to get it. The trailer isn't parked at my house so it maybe a day or 2 before I would be able to get it.

Hudsy Wudsy Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 On a Hudson Hornet engine, the 308 cid flathead, there is a distinguishing rib that runs along the length of the block approximately two inches above and parallel to bottom of the block: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

54Coupe Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I see a 308 in the middle of the trailer, without a cylinder head. The one at the front of the trailer (standing upright) is a wide block (51-54) 262. The one on it's side is a narrow block 262. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW4X4 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Hey all, I have a wide block (51-54) 262 alos that needs a good home. Its been out in the weather for a long time, so its not in very good condition either. After rebuilding hundreds of engine over my life these can be of great value if you just need a connection rod, or a crank shaft for your engine. Grab a spare while you can, some day someone one will need it. Located in Pgh. PA . I'm not asking a lot just don't want to see it go to the scrap yard. Comes with bell housing and transmission...
