Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / August 2006351 HO Engine....is there a demand for this engine?
I've got an engine out of an '84 truck that my father bought before his death. He was going to put it into one of his trucks. I remember him telling me that it came out of a truck that had 70,000 miles on it. Anyway, I don't really have a use for it and was thinking about selling it, but I'm not sure what to ask. It is a complete engine with carb, alternator, etc. Any ideas? > I've got an engine out of an '84 truck that my father bought before his > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Any ideas?

That was a decent motor - you should get some reasonable interest in it, but it's not like 1984 Ford pickups are Rolls Royces or anything. It'll probably bring $300, or maybe a little more. > That was a decent motor - you should get some reasonable interest in it, but > it's not like 1984 Ford pickups are Rolls Royces or anything.

The other consideration is how long has it been sitting? If its been sitting a long time, the cylinders are probably rusted and a rebuild will be in order. Whitelightning FYI: If this is the factory engine in the 1984 truck it will not be a 351C - production of the 351C began with the 1970 model year and ended during the 1974 model year. Contrary to popular belief, the only "trucks" equipped with a 351 Cleveland engine by the factory were '70-'74 Rancheros, which shared the Torino's platform and powertrain options. Yet another $.02 worth from a proud owner of a 1970 Mach 1 351C @ http://community.webshots.com/album/18644819fHAehGJAjt >> That was a decent motor - you should get some reasonable interest in it, > but [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Whitelightning |
