1949 Cadillac 331 C.i. V8 Original And Complete on 2040-parts.com

This is a complete 331 c.i. V8 and hydramatic transmission that I removed from a 1949 Cadillac Coupe de Ville (see the last picture).  I bought the car 8 years ago from a mechanic in Bakersfield, California who had it stored in his shop for many years.  The car had approximately 46,000 miles on the odometer when I bought it and after installing new brakes, flushing the old gas, and tuning the motor, it started easily and ran without issues.  I drove the car frequently and had no problems with starting, over-heating, oil consumption or leaks.  After a year of use I sold it to a neighbor who gave the motor and transmission back to me when he decided to build the car into a street rod using a fuel-injected Chevrolet big block and manual transmission.  The day before we removed the motor and transmission, he drove the car on a 100 mile round trip to attend an out-of-town golf match.  It ran with complete reliability then, and I expect the motor and transmission have many more reliable miles ahead.   Regarding shipping:  The motor is in my friend's automotive shop in Los Angeles, CA., zip 90026. I have no way of shipping or transporting this motor, so the buyer must either pick the motor up at the shop or arrange for shipment.  Good luck bidding.
