Just talked to the seller- engine last ran 3 months ago, no smoke, it's under a tarp. Guy seemed like a good person. If I get $150 by the end of the week, it's as good as mine.
Is this worth looking into?

I enjoy cutting my.own grass too much, but I do have a pile of brush that needs removal. 😀joesregalproject said:Seller contacted. I think I'm gonna buy it. I just need some quick money. Anyone need their grass cut?
Sounds promising. And 120k isn't much nowadays.
Be sure to post pics once acquired and a again when the build has begun.
I'd remove that brush if only you weren't on the other side of the state. :lol: If and when acquired, I'll start an entire thread.
The block on the 95 is not machined for a mechanical fuel pump. The mounting flange is cast but the hole for the pump pushrod is not bored, and the bolt holes are not drilled or tapped, so I would plan on an electric pump and regulator. Sounds like a deal though, I would grab it up.

Thanks, I'm glad you told me. Is there anything else than cannot be switched to manual or non- TBI before I buy this? I basically want this motor with as little electronic components as possible.

The 95 truck 5.7 block I have is running a mechanical pump. If it's not a roller cam it should have the lobe for the mech fuel pump. If it is a roller and has the lobe then you need to use a brass fuel pump rod.
you can put a carb on it and remove the computer. If your distributor is computer controlled you'll need one that is not. That 95 should have a serpentine belt so you will probably need an adapter for the alternator.

(Eventually, a long time from now) Once I get it in the car, all I plan on running is PS and an alternator. I don't think the distributor is cc, but I could be wrong. All I get with the engine is the block, heads, valve covers, oil pan, timing chain cover, and all their internal parts. Maybe some other bits and pieces. I know I do not get a water pump, alternator, fuel pump, throttle body, fan, etc. but for $150, I think I'm getting a pretty good start.
if the accessories include the water pump, ps pump and alternator I'd buy them as well. You can't replace those for $50 and it should have a serpentine set up.
