Free Chevy 307, can be picked up at my house...intake manifold not included.

Thank you,

I'll see if I can arrange pickup, can you give me a week or two?

This was the engine that was going in my T/A until we found out it was a 307. It may be good as a core to be rebuilt, but it has been out in the elements for a while so there is quite a bit of rust on it.

heads are a little rusty, but we painted it early on and it does have the intake manifold on it, so not that bad

Quite a bit of water probably got into the open manifold, the intake runners, and the open valves into the cylinders. I just don't wanna misrepresent this engine. Wink

will the crank rotate freely, or have you tried recently?

never tried it

Go outside and try it! Very Happy

Pour a little diesel or ATF down it tonight, then try it tomorrow. You'll have better luck.

the wheel that the engine is sitting on is keeping the crank from turning

I think I may have a truck to bring up and grab this. Basically what I'm interested in is the crank and possibly the rods. Realistically, I'll probably scrap the rest.

I'm sure James' wife will appreciate getting it out of the yard! Very Happy

She sure will! Very Happy

I would think a 307 would make a fine little flower pot.

I'd say easy 250 at the wheels.

Torque would be down, hp up from a 305. Same cubes but alot less valve shrouding then the 305. I think it would make an interesting tpi experiment.
