? on motors, trannys and transfers???? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

teeitup · 10-23-2003, 04:02 PM

I have a deal brewing for approx. 30-40 motors (283, 307, 350, 396, 402, 454 and the big 500 ones) and approx. 40 tranny's and transfers out of 4x4's(4 speeds and AT's) and about that many complete front end and rearends (1/2 and 3/4 and 1 ton's). A bunch of heads, big and small block. These are out of 67-80 trucks. Anyway I have no place to put most of these and was wondering if there is any companies that buy these things in bulk. I mean motor or 4x4 businesses, I'm just doing some thinking here and really don't want to load and unload all these twice. I'll probably keep the BB's but try to sell the rest in bulk. I HAVE NOT DONE THIS DEAL YET!!! I'm just looking for a little helpful info. Thanks Randy

**MJN** · 10-23-2003, 04:07 PM

On those 4-speed trannies, do you have any SM465s from '73-'80 trucks with chrome shift handles and I am looking for a original shift knob for my '74, it looks like a '72 knob but has the pattern, L 1 2 3 on it. Sorry about highjacking the thread BTW. Thanks

VTKidder · 10-23-2003, 04:07 PM

Can't help you Randy, but you sure one ambitious SOB to swing a deal involving that much iron. I salute you!

teeitup · 10-23-2003, 04:23 PM

MJN, no clue till later.
Adam, thats not all of it, if I get it all, I'll post pics, I'm working on Susie, my boss at work, and my money man. It will take me all winter to haul it all if I do it. Thanks Randy

Wow Randy,

You are the man. I think you do more work after work than most of us do all week long.

Lobo'74 · 10-23-2003, 05:21 PM

And I was just at the salvage yard today asking about transmissions and rear ends. Timing.

*rage'nrat638* · 10-23-2003, 05:44 PM

randy a engine rebuilding shop buys core's to rebuild...
theres a place here in carol stream....that sell rebuilt engines bigtime to wholesalers,autopart stores and etc...

if you call a few ,,like auto parts stores in your area and ask who rebuilds the engines they sell,i am sure you will get a few different names to go on...but that don't really mean there going to be in your area...

my buddy that own's a engine shop pays about 100.00 for a 4bolt 350 core....and about the same for a 4bolt 454 block

hope this helps

THANKS GUYS for the help. David, I took off this week!

Thanks Randy

**Yukon Jack** · 10-28-2003, 06:04 PM

Any update?

teeitup · 10-28-2003, 08:29 PM

Well Mark, I think its going to happen. I'm getting all my ducks in a row for this deal. If it does happen I will be real busy, he has a 50 x 100 building full of parts, I'll be getting all these motors and stuff, plus about 20 more trucks, and alot of new aftermarket parts and ALOT of new NOS parts, and alot of used parts for these years. If I do it it will be late Nov. before I start it all. I'll let you know when it goes through, I can't wait but we are negotiating now. Thanks Randy

tommie · 10-28-2003, 10:03 PM

check some of the aftermarket trans rebuid shops in your aera, they may want to buy some of the cores.
you may also get some of the machine shops to buy some of the engine cores.
hope your getting a good deal on all of it.

tommie

teeitup · 10-28-2003, 10:26 PM

Thansk Tommie, I'll try them. I don't know if its a good deal or not but I've always wanted to do something like this. Thanks Randy

krazy_texan · 10-29-2003, 12:46 AM

man if you get all those i am in search (not ready to buy just yet) for both axles to go under a 74 blazer, a 4spd granny trans and a transfer case, and possibly a motor all for the same truck and the driveshafts to if you happen to get them

JayDubBlazer · 10-29-2003, 07:18 AM

Well you will never have to buy a boat anchor. teeitup if I am ever down that way I will have to see your pastures of parts.

TsgtE662 · 10-29-2003, 09:55 AM

About how much for a good 402 BB complete?

teeitup · 10-29-2003, 02:40 PM

I have not sealed the deal yet, so I will not price anything until its done and I get some of it hauled home. Thanks Randy

krazy_texan · 10-30-2003, 12:32 AM

if you seal the deal, give me a place to stay and i will come up and help you transport all of it for those parts, lol

easy4 · 10-30-2003, 01:53 AM

If it happens may be intersted in a big block

teeitup · 11-02-2003, 03:13 PM
