[FC] FC Motor

[Chuck Kamas]

Good afternoon!

I too have a 63 corvan block that is good for core value.  I am sure I 
could throw in lots more parts for free.

$50.00 and a little cooler out here in Sunny California!

>> I bought this a couple of months ago to do a full restoration on and have realized that running a business and taking care of my two year old twins......I will not get to this any time soon.  Could deliver within a reasonable distance.  Needs a full restoration.  Engine does not turn over by hand.  It is 99%-100% complete.  The front grill and the rear tail lights were removed by the previous owner to store inside and they are included.  You will need two rear tires.  The wheels are in the van, but no tires.
