Hey chipper way to go man! Thats great if you have one. I try to help others out as i know I need help too.
I dont have a lot of parts around but i have a ton of body tools and have done the work, so in that area i do stuff for others that can do stuff for me,

I E trans work use a hoist....
Either way between the 2 of us he will get the pump, yours is cheaper I am just trying to be a good guy.

You can get a complete engine rebuild kit from Kanter, pistons, rings, valves etc. for around $ 1,500 bucks - you would still have to rebuild the carb, fuel pump, and get a water pump etc. avg. price with machining would cost you about $2,500 to rebuild --- I have a '50 Chrysler straight eight 323 and the rebuild parts are similar. The engine in the photo looks like it has been sitting exposed for a long time and is more than likely stuck badly. It would make a great piece of yard art though - straight eight's are fantastic, but look for one that turns and is complete.

A buddy of mine has a straight 8 with trans sitting in his shop. Says it was recently rebuilt and running when pulled from the car. i think he'll take $500 for it just to get it out of his way. wish I had something to put it in.

Sitting out there with an open carb that engine is probably frozen up tight.
