Chris G 3,274 #1 Posted June 2, 2017 Well on my way to the VA this morning I see a place was doing a scrap metal drive to raise money. I happen to notice this little gem at 55mph. So j stopped and no one would be in until 1. So I went back and offered to donate some cash and they said nope, just take it since you were honest and waited and honest about the value. So there's a story of how being honest and doing right pays off especially for a guy like me who's always searching for these little gems. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 46,724 #13 Posted June 5, 2017 That's what a guy loves about these older motors, little TLC and darn little I mean and they fire right off! What are your plans for it?? Eventual transplant into a RJ or Suburban? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,276 #14 Posted June 5, 2017 Outstanding! For some reason I got the feeling from your original pictures that it didn't have many hours on it. It just has "the look". I was wondering about a tapered shaft but the last picture it looks straight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris G 3,274 #15 Posted June 5, 2017 Ya eventually put her in a suburban or rj. And the shaft is normal. Same k91t I just put in this suburban in photo. Hours wise I'm not sure of. But it doesn't appear to have many on it. It fires up first pull and idles up and down amazing. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
