Rotary Car Club - Middle TN

hey guys i have a random question.. my buddy dan is about to buy an fc for $500. the body is perfect and so is the paint and the top is pretty good as well... i havet seen it yet buy the guy says its "carbon locked" he found a chunk of carbon in the exhaust and it wont turn over.. that being said depending on the damage to the motor do any of you think it can be rebuilt? its N/A and idk how many miles... OTHERWISE do any of you know where to find a reliable motor? thanks

Depending on the year, I have some parts. I also am about to start doing a few rebuilds for other ppl. Just not taking any cars and not doing installs. Time and space prohibits me from working on other ppls cars, but i can do engines.

Once you get it out let me know and I can tell you how to take it apart and inspect.

most likely you will get it to run, but the oil control rings will be weak and she will start to blow smoke. If that happens its better to rebuild then instead of messing up that motor down the road.

I'm looking at renting out a room starting in October. The house is located about 4 minutes off exit 89 (Epps Mill) of 24. If anyone knows anyone interested let me know.

I might be in. My funds are a bit tight right now but a camping trip does sound fun.

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 04:45 AM.
