    Hey guys,

    This is a MUST GO. The original engine from my 72 225 is lying in my mechanic's shop and he needs it moved. I have no place to store it and i DONT want him scrapping it - even though it might have a cracked block. Since you guys have been so awesome to me - I wish to return the favor.

    The engine is in Maryland - Rockville Pike to be exact. Please let me know if you're interested. Comes with a carb and accessories (I believe).

    :)

    BTW. It runs fine - just drinks coolant. I need an answer ASAP if you're interested. The engine was in great shape - aesthetically speaking - when it was in the car last.

    YES! It is. It had one rebuilt head, one new one. A rebuilt carb. A new thermostat.....the only problem is the cracked block - yes, I know that's a big deal :(

    I'd have to check with the shop to see if they scrapped it or not. Apparently no one wants a free 455 these days!

    I looked at the motor yesterday. Not sure it is all there. One head is off and 4 cyls are under water. Didnt see the carb, missing head, one valve cover, or accessories. There is a random brake drum sitting on top though. By the looks of it, this might be scrap. Looked like it had been that way for a while. I think the guy there said several months. :ball:
