74 Apollo Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 My father-in-law is looking for someone to check out and repair an engine noise coming from his 38 Special. Prefer someone in MN or WI. Car is located in Hudson, WI near the Twin Cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Nelson Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Check with Dave Tacheny (1-763-427-3460 ) who is just north on Minneapolis . Excellent parts supplier and may know who is in the area to solve the 'noise' issue. If its a rod noise - stop running the engine. Otherwise its possible the damage will be VERY EXPENSIVE to fix. I've had two engines (248 special engines) completely rebuilt and it ran in the $7,000 range. Both did not require line boring which increases costs. Dave may have a decent 248 engine without spending a ton of $$. Just a thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74 Apollo Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 We have used Dave many times for parts but never thought about asking him about our motor problem. Gramps will give him a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
