Title: hp 186
Post by: waynos on November 09, 2009, 10:29:53 PM
i just bought a hp motor that has a sticker "remanufactured as 186"
its out of a hr apparently,but i was wondering if maybe its a hd motor?
my first car was a hd and i thought this motor was a myth.
also wondering how rare they are ?

 They are not that rare when they have been bored out to 186 +60 but are quiet rare in standard bore ..I have kept  a standard bore HP long engine  for the last 30 years and also 149 standard bore .......FC427.....
