Wanted: SVX engine
Greetings!
I'm looking for a good solid running engine for Paul Dexler's SVX. He's my father-in-law, and I'd like to get it running again. A bare long-block would be fine. The engine in his car is shot. Head gaskets blew and water got into the cylinders. All the outside bits are okay though. Thanks in advance! |

Re: Wanted: SVX engine
Welcome!
Was this the green svx for sale on c.l? You should just do a head gasket replacement it would be just about as much work.. And u would not need to switch all other parts over. There are some svxi at pick n pulls u could get... I just pulled one svx engine from the rocklin store today.. Total was like 250 and that was everthing but the alt p/s pump and a/c

Re: Wanted: SVX engine
If it were just a simple headgasket job, you would be right, but if there has been water sitting in the cylinders for any extended period of time, then it could cause corrosion, pitting, etc. I think in this case it would be a safer bet to just go for a new engine.

Yeah, time for a good runner. The important thing here is to get a known, good condition engine for it so I can get it back on the road. Anybody got one? |
