The motor came out of a running LeSabre sedan. I did the full 9 yards on it Block was boiled, magnafluxed, bored 60 over, honed. Electronically balanced crank with new bearings stock con rods with egge 1959 364 pistons (to keep good compression) (actual compression 9.75) new 59-60 401 cam, lifters, adjustable pushrods resurfaced heads, refurbished rockers and shafts, new stainless valves, locks, guides, and Russ Martins stiff valve springs (to rev to 5500 rpm) Copper freeze plugs, rebuilt stock distributor, water pump, Oil pump, rebuilt generator stock 4 barrel intake, with Rochester 4GC carb from a 59 401 (still has pedal start, and had it professional rebuilt including anodizing) 1966 Starter with a adapter kit from Russ to run a TH400 behind it (can convert back to stock easily) It was only dynoed and broke in. It has been 2 years since the motor was finished, but I do start it up once or twice a year. Its still sitting on a custom made stand still. Dyno results are 272 HP at 5300 rpm (didn't want to run it higher then that, but the graph showed it will make more), 380 ft lbs at 2800-3400 rpm All parts are fully refurbished, or new. I have every receipt for everything for this motor. I have over $7,000 in it, but know I won't get that. I would like to get $4000 for it. I am rebuilding a 455 in my 70 Electra and can use performance parts so I am open to trading (aftermarket heads, etc). I also have a torque tube eliminator kit for 50s buicks made by Russ Martin I will throw in with it since the motor has the adapter kit for a th400. The kit is over $1000 new.
