mcl1959

Notice the first one has basically fallen / rusted through the bottom of the front suspension into the ground, even the remains of the K frames are still there where they have rusted off the bottom of the car. Even the steering column has basically rusted away. How bad must the rest of the car been?
The second one looks like the car was rolled over and the engine was unbolted and dropped onto the ground. Rocker cover is punched in, carb is broken, oil filter is broken (shame)

Expensive motor at Townsville ( I think for a motor in unknown condition I think $1K is a little steep - you can disagree)  - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FB-EK-Holden-Grey-Motor-and-Gearbox-/182831794409?hash=item2a919fc8e9:g:aV0AAOSwafBZ4set

There are some rusty motors down here in Tassie - 6 of them are  at Nunamara (North East of Launceston). Rusty and dusty but could find a winner.

QuoteHolden 138 Grey motor, doesn't work needs a rebuild, attached is a 3 speed Gearbox... seems to be in working condition, Gearbox is still attached, both original from original 1963 EJ Holden , Cash only on pick up only from the  Sunshine Coast QLD


On the expensive side - perhaps ???  I just paid $2k to have my motor rebored etc - but for an unknown motor does seem steep

QuoteIs out of an FB Holden and was running when parked.
Turned over with a key.
Still had oil and water in it.
No Spark, points or coil....
It has 55,000 on Speedo.

Seller says:
QuoteThis is a Holden 138 Grey Motor that came out for the EJ Holden.

The condition is unknown, however it is not seized and can turn over by hand.

It would be great for a restoration project.

At the other end we have an FJ FX motor out west - or s it as the seller does not know.
QuoteOut of my FX Holden is the grey motor we think its a 132 but could be 138. We do know it was a Repco exchange motor believed to be from a FC Holden. Doesn't turn over been the car since early 1960's sold in as is condition as pictured
