Title: Wtb: Narrowed/adjustable Beam
Post by: 63_Cdn_Std. on March 27, 2008, 02:16:47 PM
Hi all,
     Looking for a beam, prefer 4" narrowed ... anything from bare to complete with spindles/brakes.... what have you all got ?
     Also, if anyone has a 1776 or so longblock, would be interested in that as well.

Cheers.

I have the 1835cc long block that came with my 68 and a NEW set of 90.5mm P/C to make a 1776. The motor was built 3 years ago in Langley by someone  with a name starting with "D" ( I do not know) but the seller did not run many miles on it (just summers). It has an agressive cam and 1.1 or 1.25 rockers. As a long block with the new P/Cs I want $1200.00. The customized Kads are $451.00 additonal.  PM me if this is something you are looking at.

Thanks for the replies folks, piston/cyl and crank/cam setups arent what I am looking for at the moment, rather start with a solid (or known condition) longblock to finish off, then a quick swap so I can stow away my original engine and leave complete. (minimize downtime, and get to do the "stuff you see" the way I want it look/work)
  Just dont have the time to start from a bare block, although I would like to. First engine I ever got into the guts of was the 64 T1 I restored when I was 18. (bout' 14 yrs ago)
