I have 2 v8 engines.
#1 V159836

#2 P66854

Anybody got any Idea what year and what they are from??

Engine #1 I have just completed re-building. It lacks a distributor and
carb. I have it mounted in a jig, and will more than likely get running next
week.

Engine #2 I expect is out of a early ??. The engine is green with red rocker
covers.
It is pretty old, as it has the 4 bolt goose neck on the water manifold.

I will run a compression check on it. Maybe re-build it for grins, and
resale.

Let me understand this.
You rebuilt an engine and don't know what it is?

Where are these engines?
What are the block numbers on the engines?

I rebuilt the first one last year, and have forgotten what it is.

The other is a recent acquisition.

Engines in Tulsa.
Serial numbers in the original post.

for that 289...

Thanks Mr Grumpy, but right now, my plate is very full. In fact it runneth
over. I just retired, and it seems as if my "todo" list is a "todo book".

Once it gets too hot to work outside here in Oklahoma, I'll move into the
garage, and do some Stude work there. This 289 will move to the top of the
Stude list then.
Thanks.

I retired in 2005 and finally am thinning my "treasure." I'm only
retaining spares for what I intend to keep and 289 engines are not in
that picture.
