    Takeoffs, spares, and leftovers from my GS 400. I want these to be used, and I want them out of my limited garage space. All prices are negotiable, open to bundling too.

    Item 1 Engine - $200, you pick up
    Stock '68 GS400 long block, 82k original miles, running but noisy when pulled. Head part numbers don't match, one must have been replaced before I got the car. No intake manifold, no rocker assemblies, oil pan is a later big car type. Complete and installed stock cam, lifters, pushrods, heads, timing cover, balancer, fuel pump.

    Item 2 Rocker Assemblies - $40 plus shipping
    One set later model clearance ground for big springs, one set stock early model 1.60 ratio. Most hardware and bolts included, have not counted these bits.

    Item 3 used Popular Mechanics cam and lifters - $40 plus shipping
    Famous (or infamous) "fast ramp" cam, has about 15k miles, replaced with Scot Brown small cam. Lifters are not necessarily paired with lobes - use lots of lube.

    Item 4 Oil Pump - $10 plus shipping
    Miscellaneous parts including HV gears and plate, springs, gaskets, etc.

    Item 5 valve covers - $20 plus shipping
    Later model (horizontal ribs) painted red with kinda moldy gaskets.

    Item 6 flexplate - $10 plus shipping
    Don't remember why I have it, I'll check the ring gear for damage before I sell it to you.

    Item 7 Water pump - $5 plus shipping
    Kept it cause it worked, might have been short snout and I needed a long snout with my belts.

    Item 8 Quadra-Jets (2) - $35 plus shipping
    One came on my '68 GS400 but codes to a 350 car, worked when pulled the other is a 800 cfm later model and is a core. Includes all of my leftover gaskets, jets, metering rods, etc.

    Sorry the pics are sideways, hope you find something you can use.

    TTT -

    Here's a mostly complete set of cores to build your own BBB! I also have a TH400 core that goes with all of these good parts.

    Somebody give me an offer - I am a motivated seller, just want this stuff gone and I'd hate to scrap it out.
