Pontiac Engine Complete 1961, 1962, 389 Cu. In., 348 Horse Power 425a Trophy V8 on 2040-parts.com
Wallingford, Pennsylvania, US
YOU ARE BIDDING A COMPLETE ENGINE, 1961, 425A TROPHY V8 348 HORSE POWER. IT IS ALSO THE SAME MOTOR USED IN A 1962
I RAN OUT OF ROOM FOR PICTURES BUT MOTOR HAS EVERYTHING SHOWN PLUS DEEP OIL PAN, GENERATOR AND ANY OTHER ITEMS TO COMPLETE MOTOR.
I BUILT THIS ENGINE FOR A 1961 CATALINA IN 1964 THAT I RAN IN CS/A, THIS BODY AND MOTOR FIT THE CLASS PERFECTLY.
ENGINE WAS BLUE PRINTED TO MEET NHRA STOCK CLASSIFICATION. ENGINE BUILD SHEET IS ATTACHED. IT HAS MICKEY THOMPSON ALUMINUM PISTONS.
EVERYTHING WAS DONE PERIOD CORRECT FOR THAT TIME FRAME, IT WAS A PERFECTLY LEGAL CS/A CAR THAT RAN A BEST OF 13.66 AND CONSISTENTLY RAN 13.8, THIS IS IN 1964 ON SMALL TIRES. THAT WAS VERY GOOD AT THE TIME.
MOTOR ONLY HAS ABOUT 50 RUNS ON IT. SOON AFTER BUILDING THIS CAR, I GOT INTO CORVETTES.
MOTOR HAS BEEN IN MY POSSESSION SINCE 1964 (49 YEARS). I TOOK MOTOR APART IN 1994 SO I COULD MOVE IT TO NEW HOUSE.
I BELIEVE I HAVE EVERYTHING AS A COMPLETE MOTOR, IT DOES HAVE SOME RUST BUT NOTHING THAT I FEEL WOULD INTERFERE WITH A TOTAL REBUILD.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO RESTORE A 1961 OR 1962 PONTIAC, THIS IS THE MOTOR FOR YOU, YOU WILL NOT ONLY HAVE THE CORRECT PARTS BUT YOU WILL HAVE A CAR WITH A LOT MORE PUNCH.
DUE TO THE WEIGHT OF THESE PARTS, IT WILL BE LOCAL PICKUP ONLY. IF YOU ARE GOING TO CARLISLE, I AM LESS THAN TWO HOURS FROM THERE. (JUST SOUTH OF PHILADELPHIA)
I AM SURE THEIR WILL BE QUESTIONS AND HOPEFULLY I CAN ANSWER THEM, REMEMBER IT HAS BEEN CLOSE TO 50 YEARS AGO.
GOOD LUCK BIDDING ON THIS VERY RARE MOTOR AND I DOUBT YOU WILL FIND ONE AS COMPLETE AS THIS.

A BIDDER ASKED FOR A FURTHER DESCRIPTION OF EXHAUST MANIFOLDS AND ON FURTHER INSPECTION, I FOUND WHAT LOOKS LIKE A CRACK ON THE LEFT SIDE MANIFOLD, NUMBER 537455. I AM UNABLE TO CHANGE LISTING BY ADDING A PHOTO. I DO NOT WANT TO HIDE ANYTHING, IF IT IS A CRACK I ASSUME IT CAN BE REPAIRED.

Subaru WRX and Legacy Concept at Los Angeles Motor Show 2013
Thu, 21 Nov 2013Microsoft Subaru unveiled a pair of newcomers at the 2013 Los Angeles Motor Show - a red-hot WRX fast saloon (above) and a concept car depicting the next Legacy (below). The WRX is a Subaru performance icon, but has been around the block a few times in recent years. First it was a four-door blue and gold rally hero, then it became a sensible hatchback.
Mitsubishi i-Miev: The Fat-Boy version for the US
Tue, 09 Nov 2010The Mitsubishi i-Miev grows in size for the US It’s a big enough problem getting the UK and Europe to buy in to the idea of a very small city car, much less one powered by an electric motor with all the power of a glorified washing machine (exaggerates for effect). It’s even more difficult when your first stab at pricing comes out at nearly £40k. From that shaky start Mitsubishi has gone on the offensive with their electric city car – the Mitsubishi i-Miev.
Toyota Auris facelift (2010): first official photos
Mon, 25 Jan 2010Toyota is attempting the impossible: to make its Golf challenger more interesting. The new-for-2010 Toyota Auris receives a facelift inside and out, engineering tweaks to nudge CO2 downwards and a sportier model to lure in younger drivers. Good luck, Toyota… Forgive us for sounding harsh, but CAR has never seen eye to eye with the Auris, dubbing it the ‘magnolia’ of the hatchback segment when we first drove it in 2007.
