1967 289HP balancer dated L6. Balancer is in very nice condition. It does have a couple nicks on one edge (see photos) but you really have to look for them. Asking $750, shipping to be determined after sale. I've been using UPS. Shipping cost are exact UPS charge, nothing more.

1967 289 HP thermactor head dated 6M22. Head came off a mismatched set on a 67 motor. I believe the intake and exhaust were port matched to the S7MS intake. The intakes measure approximately 2.05 x 1.13, exhaust 1.125 x 1.35. Asking $1250 with shipping to be calculated after sale. I've been shipping UPS.

I'm still interested, we just need to figure out shipping. Fred mentioned it can even be wrapped in carboard and shipped FedEx. I'm pretty sure I can get a business address where it can be shipped too. What are your thoughts?

Is it gone??

I picked up a NOS Mallory condenser. We'll see how that compares to the "China" knockoff's aftermarkets.

Not sure where else to post so I thought I'd check here. I have a Mallory dual point and condenser on one of my SBF's. I've had it for a lot of years and have had to constantly replace the Mallory condenser. Reading other older post it appears that the condensers made by Mallory were faulty, some failing within days of use. Can someone recommend a reliable replacement for the Mallory condenser? I'm sure someone here has had the same issue over the years. Thanks!

I know we talked about a way to ship it in the past. Any thoughts? I had mentioned a large plastic tub, like those found at Menards/Walmart, etc. Having looked at shipping cost it might not work out anyways. I should have got a hold of you last summer, we were almost to California on a road trip. Terry

Just a longshot, do you still have the 3M4 block? Haven't corresponded in quite awhile. Terry

Does the block have hipo caps?

Do you still have it? I know it's been quite a while. I believe you have sold the caps so just the block? I'm still interested. Terry

I know it's been awhile, any follow-up? Thanks

I want this block!

Ironically, that's where I picked up my 67 motor, out of an old street rod about 15 years ago, not as complete as yours. You scored a dandy!

Need a little help on a date code. I have a balancer that looks like it's "I" 4. Thought Ford did not use the letter "I" on date coding. I know it's not an L as I have another that's dated November. Both balancers are C5OE. Any ideas. Thanks, Terry The content cannot be displayed because you do not have authorisation to view this content.

Seen the article on Antilla's Fairlane. I've had a K Code Sport Coupe for 35 years.

Sure, 231-873-4243, Hart, Michigan. I purchased it probably 12-15 years ago near Detroit. It caught my attention because it was a VIN stamped block. I don't recall how I found the listing. Once I had it torn down I had the block and crankshaft magnafluxed. The block came back with a small crack in a water jacket and one near the lifter valley. They are not visible by the eye but showed up on the test. I then decided to part it out. I kept the block, minus the caps, just because of the VIN stamp. I believe it's still standard.

Just seen this thread for VIN's. Had this block for along time, no history. Be nice to find the original owner. May be salvageable.

I'll stick it back in the corner if you ever change your mind. I was hoping you were closer. I totally understand, I'm the same way. I'm sure if your patient you'll find what your looking for. If I see something listed, craigslist, whatever, I'll send it along. I spent years chasing parts for my Fairlane, that's half the fun. Terry

I have a 66 VIN stamped block dated 6G20. I purchased it years ago. Upon teardown I had the block and crank magnafluxed. The block came back with a crack showing in the water jacket on the rear of the block (you can't see it) and a small one if the lifter valley, also not visible by naked eye, but it showed up on the test. I ended up parting out everything. Given the newer developments in crack repairs, epoxies, etc. I think it could be repaired. There's no caps, those were sold long ago. VIN decodes it was a fastback. It's yours if you want it. I think it's still standard, I'd have to check.

Looking at shipping it might not be viable.
