If you have an '85 or '86 block and rotating assembly collecting dust that isn't destined for a project of your own, and that you'd be willing to part with - PM me. Thanks!

why does it need to be an 85?
Wouldnt any 85 or 86 work? keep in mind though the 86.5 has a different dipstick tube.

Yeah, I think you might be right. I have Euro S motors worth of parts for a hybrid project and I've never been 100% on which 5.0L short block I need to start with.

Ok for what you are looking for you can use any early 32V shortblock. M28/42 or 44 iirc. Someone please correct me if I am wrong here.

I know where you can find a nearly complete 85 engine with wiring harness, brains, etc.. If that's what you wanted.. Comes from a car that was daily driven until it was hit in the rear while parked in front of a house...

Great info - Thanks much!

Sounds perfect for me... but I'm guessing it's on the wrong side of the country.

Thanks!

Shipping normally wont cost much if any if it is 1 state away or 10 states away.

Best shipping cost I found for truck freight on a long block from NorCal to SoCal was about $300, but damage done was another $200 or more, and no way I found to collect any on the damages. Shipper points at the hauler, hauler says shipper didn't strap it down right. Most people I know who have shipped a block would not like to repeat it.

I have the 86.5 motor from my car with harness & ECU's. Near Philadelphia.
