:first off, anything like an engine you get from a junk yard try and get a warranty with it. if they won't you take what you get. And even then it may have already been bored .060", or be cracked inside, etc.
I've seen good running complete engines go for as little as $200. just depends on the yard.
Second; why buy a Versailles Rearend and go thru all the hassle of changing everything when you can get a good disc brake system from another source. And keep your factory rearend. They are out there you just have to know where to look.
Everyone thinks they have to change to a Versailles rearend to get discs, THAT'S BS sports fans.
went to the junkers today, looking a 302 to put in. fist place had them for $350, second place had them for $900, low mileage.
: even if i bought one for $350 and it needed to be rebuilt, would it cross $900? which do you think is the better way to go, and are these prices realistic, or are they trying to screw me?
: also, what years lincoln versailles rearends work on the 74 mav.
