Looking for sleeved block and used stock piston.

Hello everyone, I unfortunately need to rebuild my engine in #867 which has a badly scored #4 cylinder. I am in Massachusetts. Machine shops are expensive here and have very long wait times (3-6 months). I am asking to see if anyone has a sleeved block and a single used stock piston or a set of used stock pistons. Even better would be a block that was converted to wet liners but I have only seen one of those for sale ever. I would also consider a non sleeved Durabuilt 2300 block with good bores (maybe need honing but no deep gouges). I do not need a crankshaft or rods or any cylinder head components but a complete engine which turned over smoothly would not be out of consideration if it was available. Shipping via Fastenal or other inexpensive method is good, but I can also pick up in Newโ€ฆ

I'm an owner of a '76. Where are you located?

Everyone, just joined the club. The reason I joined is; I have inherited two Cosworths and need to do something with them. Keeping them is not an option so moving forward, how is the best way to give these a good home? One is a shell essentially, it's rotted out from the bottom up but still has its engine, drivetrain and wheels. It's a '76, number #2938. It can work as a parts car for certain items I'm sure. It was bought on the cheap specifically for that purpose... a parts car. And, surprisingly it's a roller, even left outside the tires have air. Now... the second one I drove as a teenager in 78-79. It's near and dear to my heart. It's #3315 and is a one owner car with approx. 42K miles. It has been garaged since 1983. It's last registration was in the early 2000's (corrected below).โ€ฆ

Hello, The best way to sell the car is to post it on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist, giving the condition of the car. It is a no runner, and to get the car to run will take some serious work. All the rubber fuel lines and injector o rings need to be replaced, the fuel lines needs to be blown out, and the intank sending unit need to be inspected and gone through. That is just to get the fuel system to be safe.

Yes, the car looks to be in pretty decent shape, physically, and looks complete, with no major pieces missing. So, it is a decent candidate for a restoration.

Not many people are buying these cars just to be a runner, they are buyingthem to be displayed, and to be shown off, which means they are looking for cars in the nicer shape, good paint, etc. rung on the ladder. Sadly, #3315 is a bit rough to be a show car, without some serious work.

$3000 is probably a good start for an asking price. Remember, whomever buys the car, will have to put at least $2000 into it just to get it running, new tires, gaskets, fuel lines, timing belt, battery, etc.

And, they have to go and pick the car up and take it home! So, they need to source a trailer to get it!

As for #2938, a parts car may only be able to fetch $1500 at best, but depending on the rust, it may be less than that.

List them on Facebook Marketplace. List them seperately, and good luck.

I am sorry to hear about your Father's passing. That is a very hard thing to deal with, and then the added stress of selling assets.

Again, good luck!
