He probably thinks that because the odds are he's right.

I am located in New Haven Vermont and have 2 slant 6 engines,1 whole, 1 disassembled. Came out of Clark cortez Motorhomes from the mid 60s. Let me know if you would like these otherwise they will be scrapped. |

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 |

Do we think these might be Industrial Blocks? |

That intake and Carter YH might be an interesting conversation piece. Roger |

Remember, there was no special block for industrial engines. There were several different levels of truck engine (225-1, 225-2) with various heavy-duty upgrades, but these used the same blocks as passenger car engines.

Yup I was thinking the same about that intake and carb being interesting. But way too far away for me to go. I do hope they get scooped up as so many were scrapped and they ain't making any more |

The carbs and intakes were Damaged by the Salvage yard So they are scrap. I have the crank and cam for the engine that I took apart. I might have the oil pump, I have to see. It sounds like the rest will go to the salvage yard |

I could keep them around a little longer, but they would be outside on a pallet under a tarp. I've got limited space and Slant 6s take up a lot of room. |

I'm just seeing this for the first time.. and I am interested... I will send you a Private message to establish contact info, and see about picking up what remains that have not be spoken for.. OR pick it all up if you are in a rush to get rid of it.. and then work to distribute the partsJason |
