Good news!

I've gotten in touch with Lucamajuke and I will go pick up the engine, and the parts he has next week.. Then I will contact those who have expressed an interest in specific parts for the next steps..

The carbs and intakes were Damaged by the Salvage yard
Groan. How on earth did they manage that‽ I mean, okeh, a carb is a small potmetal thing with a bunch of delicate parts. But an intake‽

Cortez-specific valve cover(s) still around?
Good news Dan,

I have two valve covers and two intake manifolds. I will send you a PM.

I would be interested in (2) camshafts and (2) oil pumps.


I will be up your way between the last week of June and July 4th, 2026. I would not be able to take an entire engine, but those 4 parts if it works for you.

You can Private message me the details if you like.


Thank you,

Greg
Hi Greg,

The oil pumps were both removed and the camshaft from the disassembled engine must be with them.
Those parts did not come with the complete engine and parts that I just bought home. I will go back to pick them up if they turn up and get them to you if Lucamajuke finds them and contacts me... Wish I had a better answer than that, but maybe they will turn up!!!

Curious as to the difference in Cortez and normal slant valve covers.
I might be interested in one of those side-draft intakes, if Dan doesn't call dibs on both of them. Shipping to 50707?

What was obvious to the untrained eye, was that the crankcase breather comes out of the side of the valve cover above the # 5 cylinder and points back towards the carb mounting pad...

The Intakes at this moment are of unknown quality as they appear to be quite rusty and I did not spend any time examining them, but you are second in line!

Thanks for your Efforts! so in short, no parts to pick up as of now when I am in Vermont this (June) summer?

Greg

PM me please if the situation changes.

I can exchange my cell # via PM.
