i got an old 265 from my neighbor and sold it for $500!!! it has been sitting for about 6-7 years. came out of a 55 chevy. ive never seen a 265 in this good of shape. heads were off and sitting in the weather but the engine was in a garage and very clean. cant have 5000 miles on it and never rebuilt. no grease whatsoever on it. there wasent even a ridge on the top of the cylinder wall. it turns over. i have no doubt you could bolt some heads on it and it would fire right up. but the guy that got it got a great deal. im gonna buy a new water pump, alternator, and radiator for my truck with the $. and also im gonna relocate my tank to eaither in or under the bed, not sure yet. anybody know where i can get a good radiator for my truck? 66 chevy lwb fleet with a mild 350/4-spd. it doesent need to be stock i can fab some brackets, i just dont wanna spend a bundle. what have yall used?
thanks,
John

got one from summit for less than 160 bucks. Fit in the lower mounts perfectly, but had to fab some L-shaped brakets for the top. Cools great, I usually stick around 165-170* w/ mechanical fan.

If your sticking with the 4spd, heres the one I got.

Great deal on that 265, Hewlett I remember you talking about that 265 your neighbor had that you were going to get for a little of nothing, anyway good sell.

Good sell on that engine. You may have been able to get more, as good as it sounds... Nice work...Wish I had $500 extra to throw at one of my projects.
