My 55 Cadillac needs a new engine the block is cracked. Please pm me if you have one for sale.

Thanks,
Bob Kielar

A cracked cylinder bore can be sleeved.  An external crack in the block can be welded using moden methods, of course location is the key here.

Someone had a short engine for sale on here recently Bob. They posted it just after you put your original post up here. Someone told them you wanted one.

Bob I know of a '55 Cad that is more or less complete, a project car, don't think the owner is parting out as too good a vehicle for that. Has the engine and claims it is loose. If you are so inclined and have the space to store it, perhaps it is of interest? As I recall you would have to buy the whole car, around $5000 or less if memory serves. If interested I will look for where I saw this and post for you. I also had a line on a 365 block from a '58 Cad, though I don't think that helps in your case. Clay/Lexi

Hi Lexi, I really don't what another project car and a 365 will not work. Thanks for the reply.
Regard,
Bob Kielar

Not sure if you found an engine, but I saw this today.

I got an engine from a fellow CLC member and it just recently passed inspection. Do you have one for sale?
