Is this stinking game over yet ? Looks like a biohazard to me.
IT’S A GARBAGE TRUCK ENGINE
SEEING IS BELIEVING……..I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES
one mans junk is another mans treasure
Bought a “pig in a poke” once but even it didn’t look this hopeless.
the site stated that picture is for repensentation only “Thank you craiglist”
I can’t find the warranty statement.
THIS STUFF IS STARTING SMELL A LITTLE FISHY !!
IS THE CONTEST OVER YET?
FROM THE SMELL OF IT, I THINK WE WERE SENT AMC MARLIN PARTS INSTEAD OF CAPRI.
THE WINNER OF THE CONTEST MUST PAY ALL TAXES AND FEES ASSOCIATED WITH DISPOSING OF THIS CRATE AND IT’S SMELLY CONTENTS. IT SHOULD COME TO A TOTAL OF ABOUT $275. AND WE DO NOT TAKE EASTWOOD BUCKS. Thanks, J.R.
SENIOR J.R.
I am Jose and my brother told me that you need lots of help with your PROJECT DABRIS-CAPRI. I can see it now, with a fine tuck-n-roll interior. It will be as cool as ICE man(did I say that?).
We take cash only, not like SENIOR EASTWOOD that wanted to pay us in some sort of money that is called ”EASTWOOD BUCKS”.
I’d better get started. It’ll about a year to get it installed. Where’s my engine polish.
KNOW WUT I MEAN?
Dude?!!~!!. This isn’t snap-n-fit. I’m gonna need glue…
SHOENIOR J.R.?
I JUST GOT INTO TOWN AND I NEED A JOB.
I WORKED ON CHEBYS BACK IN MY HOME TOWN.
I can spitshine this sucker thanks to my inharitance from good old uncle Eastwood.
I still have a chance at the ”roughest thing running” catagory.
I’d say it’s in the bag.
WELL I GUESS THIS MEAN GET READY FOR A Tetanus Shot AGAIN,, ITS BEEN AWHILE,,,
I THINK IT IS TIME TO SPEND MY EASTWOOD BUCKS.

JR, better hit the Ebay Resolution Center quick!
Awww, JR. I told you that if he had zero feedback on Ebay not to buy from him.
The garbage man is supposed to haul away the trash; not drop it off!
I think that’s more of a “dog crate” engine!
So that’s what they meant by “seasoned” block!? I think it’s been around for a few too many seasons!
So that’s what they
J.R.,did they pay you or did you have to pay them for this crate?
Oh Just Look at This!!! When I was your age this is what we called a real performance engine.
SURPRISE!SURPRISE!SURPRISE! WHAT CHA THINK SARGE! THINK WE CAN FIX IT?
Huh, well at least this crate is in pretty good shape.
“Honey! I’m gonna need that extra roll of duct tape!”
Well Golly, Where should I start?
Is there an instruction booklet included?
“There’s gotta be a pony in there, somewhere!”
Garbage box? Ha! Nothing a little rust converter can’t fix!
Holy Ruted Paper Weight!
Oh my,why did they sent the parts for a 1947 car when I said 1974.Thanks!
lstanziani(at)yahoo(dot)com
For just pennies a day you can help hobo-engines find warmth in the cold winter nights.
I think we can make this work! A little paint here, a new bolt there, finished!
Now, where did I put that carburetor?
“At least T can start on the lawnmower now!”
WHERES THE BEEF
Sometimes, ‘dinner out of the box’ isn’t all that appetizing.
no pedal to put to this metal
I guess it is the “debris capri”!!!!
A carb amd a cap to create a Holley Folly.
Han Solo to Chewbacca: “They called the Millennium Falcon an old crate too, but they just lacked the will and imagination and elbow grease to make it fly!”
the crate costs more than the contents! (bargain sales)
Obviously they forgot the little dessicant packet!
Hey, they forgot the plug wires!
Guess I should have sprung for the chromed version.
I guess inspector number 29 must be on vacation.
When they say for the budget minded, they mean it!
Turnkey?
What happens when a man has too much time on his hands.
Thanks for the offer but I think I’ll just call a taxi!
Interesting
Eh all it needs is a little elbow grease and some duct tape and well have ourself a mighty fine racing machine!
There’s your problem
This isn’t how you recycle!
Nothing that a little duct tape and WD-40 won’t fix!
There’s a Corvette in there somewhere
The skil saw would be very helpful
I love the skil brand and hope I win
Hey, J. R.- it says ‘YUGO Crate Motor’ on the invoice!!
Let’s get er done!
Hell guys……All it needs is a little WD40.

Your favorite uncle died and left you his last project.
Eastwood will declare a dividend when I finish this order!
In my excitement my dreams made it look sooo much better.
car for sale: needs some work
Even MacGuyver had limits.
Skil tools Sees recycle-abities!
Only Eastwood products would take on this restoration challenge.
“ENGINE TRASH”
Zero to Junkyard in 10 Seconds flat!
There’s a detour there bo!
Did I order the short block or the long block ?
It’s late and no $%**&# instructions again!
This Holley ain’t going to have a jolly Christmas.
I spell my name with 2 R’s !
I spell by name with 2 “R’s”
I thought they said it was gonna be powder coated!
Some Assembly Required, with Adult Supervision.
“I ordered a crate engine not a crap engine”.

well….he did say it was a woody!
The Debris-Capri has it’s crate engine for the project. Now to get it out of the crate and on to the engine stand for the final assemble.
This will polish up nicely with a little paint, powdercoat, and duct tape…
That’s going to take a lot of Coca-Cola to get all that rust off!
I think with the help of Eastwoods rust remover I can fix it.
Those look like standard junk parts for a typical Capri.
“That’s the last time I order anything form those NPR Car Talk boys!?!”
“The junkyard called and said if you bring the engine back right now they won’t press any charges.”
Some assembly required.
No need to return a core. If you have a core, it’s probably better than this engine. There is a $25 fee if crate and packing material are not returned.
I said a Capri crate engine, not a crappy crate engine!
Doc, this not a spare flux capacitor.
Look! It’s the secret 100mpg engine we’ve all heard about!
Wow, another E-BAY winner! Should have shopped at Eastwood!
Hope you got the extended warranty on that…..
It’ll work for a “Weed Eater” but that’s about it.
Hmm….. Tastes Like Chicken.
Good,I’m glad it came with everything.
Wow! They even threw in a fan at no extra charge. Score!
Man that Rat Rod is gonna look sweet with this motor! But I think we’re gonna have to ugly it up a bit… This thing better burn oil or I’m gonna be pissed! And don’t hurt the crate! We needs seats and a dash as well!!!
Hope they didn’t charge extra for the packaging….
They don’t build them like they used to.
Hey bob, your ex wifes motor is in
But the ad said “ran when parked”!
Ok, let’s see that Bobby Flay guy make a stew out of this!
Where there’s a will, there’s a why.
This could be the start of something big.
Now I have a good excuse for the ordering all those great Eastwood Products! surley Eathel can’t say no now…
ALL FORD PARTS ,,,,,,NOT ONE GOOD GM PART AT ALL,,,I WILL ASK FOR PICTURES NEXT TIME,,
Nice and Ratty it’ll match just fine btw looks are deceiving its built
I expected bubble-wrap or styrofoam peanuts, but really…sandbags?
I’m sure glad Eastwood uses proper packing materials….it is going to take me forever to get this junk out of the way so I can see me pristine new crate engine
under this rusty engine and other junk used for packing material is my pristine new crate engine…honest!
How am I gonna explain to the wife I paid 5 bills for this?
OPPS!! I DID IT AGAIN.
The guy said it came with an oil pan!
“budget” crate motor complete from intake to exhaust
“It even came with headers!”
“Do you think it came with instructions?”
Check contents for damage. We are not liable for damage in transit.
One persons trash is another person garbage
I RUST CAN’T BELIEVE IT !!!!
We I think that problem is a loose spark plug wire.
the bolt on speed equipment is just icing on the cake
Hey DAAAD,Have you sent the core back yet?
LeRoy, now that I think about it, I believe that ad did say basket case and not crate!
Now I know what that “SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED” label meant. Hand me them plars and screwdriver Buford, this might take a spell.
“Who the heck packed this crate, monkeys at the zoo could do a better job!!”; And “Where is my performance ENGINE???”
Honey, I can’t find the remotor.
Race tuned, in 1960 awesome
The ad read “Roush engine for sale” forgot to ask what year it was built.
Race ready WHAT?
It sure didn’t take this long to post to our account!
That carb looks jetted a tad rich.
Well, THAT sure doesn’t meet my “Crate Expectations” ! !
“Hey J.R.The packing slip says you Brains were back-ordered”
” YEAH, I KNOW,BUT WE SAVED A BUNDLE BUYING THE RUSTOMOD VERSION!….”
That’ll buff right out.
Well they weren’t kidding about it being all OEM parts…
Hot Damned!!! Just a L’ill Eastwood Metal Conditioner & Paint…Shee’ill Be Ready To Run ???
Rat Rod Crate Motors for sale! Crates make excellent floorboards or door panels!
The discription said “Holly carb,MSD ignition,Edelbrock manifold,Hooker headers,Pypes exhaust,Miloden water pump & oil pan,Flex Fan and K+N air filter”?
I’m not sure I have the “SKIL”
This is gonna take a lot more “SKIL” than I thought!
Dang-it LeRoy, I told ja to stop washing yor car parts in the hot tub
” God I hope it’s a BOSS 302″
But the skipper said he could deliver it in only 3 hours.
This is gonna take longer than I thought.
Hmmmmm, now I recall clicking on ‘Engine Package A-Performance Kit’ when I ordered online, but it looks like they sent me ‘Engine Package B-Mystery Economy Kit’.
Wow! It’s an iron meteorite!
“Junkyard-in-a-Box! Everything you need to get started in the salvage business!”
Hurry get me a can of CARB RENEW, UNDERHOOD BLACK, AND EASTWOODS RUST CONVERTER and it’ll be good as new.
At least the crate is still good.
Hey look…a quarter
Hey no problem…that otta buff out real nice
Well the description did say “great for YOUR project”. If only it mention that IT was the project! 🙁
“sweet parts for the show car all i need is now is some carb renew, some high heat paint, and some under hood black she’ll be sure to look good”
This is a job for PhotoShop.
There’s a lesson here somewhere.
Where’s the beef?
BABY!!! This may take awhile
Honey!!! were’s the eastwood catolog?
WOW !!! Thats a nice crate
Can you say…SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED!
YOU WANT ORIGINAL, YOU GOT IT !!!!
YOU WANT ORIGINAL, YOU GOT IT !!!!!
You just wait and see if that Holley Carb doesn’t have the last laugh back in my ’57 Thunderbird!!
Dad!!…the new engine for your car is here!
if you think this will fit your capri: you might be a redneck
product info said may require slight modification. MADE IN CHINA
What the junk?!?!

SO THIS IS WHAT THEY MEANT BY “NEEDS WORK”
2012~ Mercruiser, ‘Sterndrive’, Crate engine~! ?:{>~

_____________________________
uhhohh better order eastwood
Is that a real carperambulater?
Well its a good thing he packed extra paper and padding in the crate to keep this anchor from getting messed up!
Well, I thought that guy just had a bad accent when he said mustang engine. But, now I completely understand why it sounded like he said RUSTANG engine. He is getting bad feedback for sure!!
I SURE HOPE EASTWOOD HAS AN APP FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey… I didn’t order those headers. Maybe they’re my free gift for ordering a thousand dollars worth of stuff. At least I think that’s what that foreign guy was talking about.
I`m glad i didn`t leave my Ebay feedback before this arrived!
Well, the small print said……….”Some parts not included”.
It must have been direct shipped from Michigan. It’s all rusted away.
Were are the spark plugs and wires? They were included.
Well now they did say it came from Ronnie Sox wrecked drag car .
I ordered an 8 cylinder, not a six!
Damn you EBAY!!!
I gues the term “crate engine” is subjective.
Now i do recall something about a fire at the factory……
Ain’t nuttin we can’t fix.
This is a father ,son project where are the instructions?
Oooooooole Boy, this is gonna be GREAT!!!
Sunova! I told them 3 times I wanted a Carter carb not a Holley!!!
I did leve a reply , I don’t see it .
Now, I must convince my wife that this is exactly what I was looking for and such a great deal.
“Honest, Prince Farouk me sent the dyno sheet. It says so right here, 512 hp at 6200 rpm. He said there would be some surface rust due to the long ocean voyage from Nigeria.”
It doesn’t quite look like the picture.!.!
Spare parts galore!!
A little rust dissolver and the hole box should just disappear.
When he told us he’d be receiving a crate motor we were all happy that he would finally be getting started, imagine our surprise when he opened it; “Dang, was it extra for the rusty used look, or was that free of charge??”
CRATE WORTH MORE THAN THE PARTS.
It’s the ol school, rat beater, get n neater, not a cheater, dirty look n, monster eater crate kit. Order yours today!! And be the First on Your block to be kool!!
What a Barn Find!
Crate ole Rust!!
“…….and this Rat Rod starter kit only cost me $5,000 plus shipping!”
what the hell!!!!!!@
Freight company picked up the wrong dumpster! Garbage man had another good week! Pour 1 galon EASTWOOD rust desolve into crate and put back out at the curb.
Dam pack rats were at it again.
“It’s a Jeep thing, you wouldn’t understand.”
Every part here at Rat City is carefully checked before shipping by One Eyed Jack, our quality control expert, and carefully packed in our state of the art “Shipping Cubes” before being left in the alley behind the shop for prompt pickup and shipment to you! Please allow 2 to 3 years for shipping!
(Craigslist) 1966 shelby 289 mint in box must sell $2000 or best.may trade for nice bike call Ben Over If my wife pick’s up hang up.
Is the engine under all this junk?
HOLY #!%$, I paid WHAT for this?
This must be what they mean about “making a silk purse out of a sows ear.”
Eager to save money with the shipping company FED-UP, J.R. soon learned that you get what you pay for. Meanwhile, there is a refugee that can’t find his raft….
Drop this sucker in that 55 gallon drum of carb cleaner in the warehouse and it’ll look good as new!
Oh look! We got the packing peanuts for our pachyderm.
Well,here’s the crate motor you ordered,the price was right.
The shipper’s 100% feedback just went out the friggin window.
A little wirewheel work and we’ll be ready to drop this sucker in!
Wow! When we purchased this from Matt M. he wasn’t kidding when he said we would be doing R & D for every Eastwood product.
The preservation padding took me forever!
That silver thing must be the free air bag accessory that came as a bonus gift.
I told you (don’t) yell at the sales people.
A good mechanic would have this re-built by lunch.
THE ADD SAID “CRATE MOTOR. MINT IN BOX”, AND INDEED THERE WAS A DELICIOUS MINT IN THE BOTTOM OF THE BOX.
thanks Fiat.
lee iaccoca
WOW! LOOK this one came with the carb.
Eastwood and A little elbow gease it’ll look as good as new
Good start to recycle program Jimbo, but, but, however, shoot, don’t you think you should have dumped the trash out first!
Wow great pack job no damages!
OOOPS
Hmmmm – I wonder if Eastwood’s Rust Converter will convert this to a fresh GM RamJet 502?
Let’s see; all I need now are heads, plugs, bearings, rings, wires, distributor, machine shop, transmission, bell housing, air filter, clutch, …
Perfect – all I need now are tailpipes & a radiator & I’m all set.
Very funny guys, now where the heck is my engine?
HEY! I didn’t order a Ford!
Darn, I thought the ad said “Restored Engine” — not “Engine Restoration Project”
WHAT THE F**K!
I sure am glad I got that new Eastwood Crsdit card with double reward points!!!!
YOU GOTTA BE (@?*^5!”)KIDDING ME…OK, WHERE DID YOU HIDE THE CAMERAS?

Opportunity of a lifetime “Do it yourself crate engine” all parts included, “maybe”
It’s a good thing I work for Eastwood!
Is it a Rat Or Mouse, oh, wait it both!

I thought I was getting a Chevy, not a Ford.
Dang it, I knew I should have asked to see pictures before bidding on that online auction!
now that,s a keeper,nice.
Let me tell ya these rat rod motors ain”t cheap.
Is it a HEMI ?
I said CRATE! Not CRAP!
Now this is a job for Eastwood tools and supplies!!!
This company said they were built on TRUST not RUST!
What the? Where’s Waldo?!!!
New meaning for “Express Shipping”….LOL
“DANG GUM!!! We got the wood for the stagecoach, a do-hicky do-dad to tie the horses to, a gable fan blade for the chicken coop, pipes for the local watering hole and maybe the goat will eat the rest.”
“Hot damn! (Slap your knee while saying this.) At least they spared no expense on all that packing foam, and crumpled paper. I mean, imagine if it shipped in some cheap bubble wrap.”
I ordered remaned not relapsed !!!
Some assembly required???!!!
And you expect 400 hp out of this?
Is that J.R.’s crate engine? I can’t wait to see what J.R. does with the original Capri engine parts.

This is a RAT ROD thats been boreded,with air bag, grey interior,and fresh air vents for the big 4bbl, the factory fan and dual exhaust.lift off top??? RATS R ROLL N !!!! HOLLER!!!!!!!
Oh my gosh, what did I just buy?! It doesn’t look like the picture.
Even if this came with a life time warranty, it just expired.
Ex-goody bin

A crate o CRAP!, some media blasting required.
Wow, is that a kilo of marijuanna there??

“I know where I can get the paint for that!”
Wow, it’s even better than I could have dreamed!!!
“Batteries Not Included”
Its okay brother I gots this
PROJECT RAT ROD !!!!
Crate engine: An engine truely only fit for a crate
Well parts are parts! It’s a nice crate though.
Obviously my wife didn’t order it from the Eastwood Catalog.
Boy if I didn’t have Eastwood Tools, I’d really be screwed.
“Damn! I could have had a V-8”.
one mans junk is another mans treasure
Am I being Punked?
Better call Eastwood!!!!
Awsome….it came with headers!
When was my last tetanus shot?
Classic, runs good, just needs a little TLC. Hurry, this offer ends in five minutes…..
Wouldn’t you know it? They sent the wrong carb. I ordered a mechanical secondary holley. I hope I didn’t throw the receipt away…
Every time I put something back together I seem to have spare parts. Do any of these look important to you guys?
Someone “boosted” my ride!
Honey I was in a fender bender on the way home from the mall, are you mad?
They’re here, they’re here. Ut O should’ve have ordered from EASTWOOD.
Parts you need to learn how to use Eastwood products. It beats testing them out on your own car!
Looks like “croczilla” got ther first.
Mother told me there would be days like this – Now where did that Eastwood catalog go ?
Some assembly and a lot of Eastwood required!
All I need is some boards and a few wheels for my soap box racer.
Crate motor! What about an out of date motor?
Oh Boy! This is the best Christmas present I ever got.
Well I will need Two or three more Gallon juges of Eastwood Rust Dissolver to Finish this Engine and get it in runing order
Wow! I’ve never seen a small block Chevy look so good!
Shouder paid to overnite it oh well thank God for Eastwood
I ordered a crate and received a crock
Included Instructions: A Gasket set and a little duck tape, It’s as good as new!
Somebody call Marketing!! There’s enough material here for our next three catalogs!!
I think I’ll try one more time!
*sigh* “You know you need glasses when you misread the word ‘CRAP’ as ‘CRATE’…”
Wow I’m going broke saving money! I’m going to need some help from Eastwood.
Thats cool ! The way we used to get our crate motors!
The ad said….”field tested crate motor”….but,which field?
J.R you have a very bad boy! Santa
Wow! Sure glad there was a free gallon of
rust encapsulator included with purchase.
Eastwood help me find my happy place.
or
The instructions are in the crate, some settling may have occurred.
or
was the package insured
ADVERSITY = OPPORTUNITY! “I get to use Rust Converter & Rust Encapsulator,plus my new blast cabinet & Carb Renew!” exclaimed J.R.! With Eastwood there’s a product for accomplishing every monumental task professionally in your own garage!
With the chrome air cleaner and chrome valve covers, she will look good as new!! With Eastwoods help of course.
Look at that packing job. I hope it’s not damaged!
Well, at least it’s NOT the leg lamp from Christmas Story!
Wow! Custom exhaust for no extra charge!!!
Well, it does come with new rings! 😀
An underhood detaling kit is all it needs!!
or
….it was running when they crated it…
or
…Use the Force J.R., Use the Force
Eastwood Products are good. But I don’t know if we can pull this miracle off.
Well JR, today they say its all about the PATINA..And you got some!
Eastwood?!!! I’m gunna need your help!!!
s#*$ now i have to do the engine also
You can make it all look new with, Eastwood.
For when the “Retro Look” isn’t old enough.
Where’s The Block ?????
Looks like a Transformer got sick in your crate JR.
Is that a small block or a big block?
Tetanus shot sold separately!
1500 for the crate and we threw in 2 free paperweights and a boat anchor!
(\o/) Hey Curt! Is there a rust converting angel out back?
/_\
Hay sweethang your gonna have to help me find eastwood on the comuter again.
Still don’t look right Vern, have Tiny shake it up and dump’er
out again.
When they said it was for guaranteed for 200,000 miles I thought they meant it would last that many , not have that many
I dunno , it looks like it’s a little loose on the clearances to me.
Hello , is it too late to order that $29.95 crate engine upgrade we talked about?
That’s the last time I order anything from that outfit.
great,Honey grab the self help dvd’s and the cleaning kits from Eastwood I got for christmass.
Ummmm? were gonna need some more beer, and none of that cheap stuff eaither.
I hope this guy threw in some Vaseline somewhere in here!!!!
Yup. We have all we need to rescue the Apollo 13 astronauts.
Guess that 1000 hp shot of nitrous was a little too much for the dyno test!
Aw man I ordered the chrome headers
“Do you think it’s still under warranty?”
Headers $1.59
Fan Blade .89
Carb. $2.29
Crate to keep it all together………….PRICELESS!!!
At least this one comes with headers.
4bbl carb – check
‘Low Flow’ exhaust – check
Special fan for max cooling – check
Hi-perf distributor – check
Grey pillow for napping while under car – check
Flammable brown wrapping paper to start the fire which will result in hefty insurance payout – check
Awesome, Can’t wait to clean, coat, spray and protect all these parts. a little effort now equals fun for years to come!
I’ll have to get ahold of eastwood !!
” WOW!” ” This crate motor is so complete it came with a carburetor”
An eengine! It looks more like debris from the Titanic!
Thank goodness I work at The Eastwood Company!!!
A rebuild that has challenge written all over it.
Much better than the last one.
Well, it is in a crate.
wow and i thought i would have to buy a fan
Yahoo! High Perfomance Parts!!
Its a Capri – we expect rust!
Last time I order from Vintage Hot Rod and Salvage.
What did I get myself in to this time!
Very funny guys! Now where’s the real crate?
So this is what’s left from the after Christmas sale, thanks Honey.
The Zoomies were an unexpeced bonus!
But honey , They said it has less than 5000 Miles after the rebuild.
I knew I should have paid extra for the shipping insurance! At least the packing material is biodegradable.
That will buff right out
I see this is gonna require a couple of dress-up items!
“I hope there are pictured instructions”
I think they shipped it with the wrong headers!
They said some assembly required !
Man, I bet this dude is laughin all the way
to the bank.
Where’s the free toaster?
They said, One size fits all!!
do u think it will fit in the engine bay without modifications
I can fix this! I hope it is all there? They said it ran when they took it out. I wonder how long it has been out?
They forgot to tell me it came with the retro style carb and fan, plus the special nature shortened headers – craigslist rocks!!
At least there aren’t any rats!
Dang I thought for sure I orderd a Crate Motor not a Crape Motor
wow!Those e-bay pictures were a little fuzzy!
No one said some assembly was required!
HEY!!!ANYBODY GOT SOME PAINT!!! damn shipping company!
Just as it was described on Ebay, my new rat rod crate motor.
The mail is getting slower and slower these days. Maybe I can salvage the carburetor. I’m sure Eastwood has something that will do the trick.
I guess my thoughts of a like new engine cheap was a Pipe Dream come true!
See honey, I told you we needed undercoating up here in Maine.
What a BUTTE!, A Little polish here, a little touch up paint there, and these headers look like they are perfectly tuned. I can’t wait to throw a battery on it!
I’m so glad they remembered those front pipes!
What no bubble pack!
Whoa! honey, do you have the 800 number for PayPal?
what the @#*&, holy #@!^, that son of a %^$#@
Look like it only needs a TOUCH UP and VARNISH to finish.
Damn!! Wheres all the packing material at? hope nothing got scratch.
Dad,your crate engine from Sanford and Son has arrived!
In the name of the wee man what the hell is that.
NICE STURDY CRATE. I WONDER IF THE S.O.B. THAT SOLD ME THIS WILL FIT IN IT!
Hey, I paid extra for an air filter!
Hey J.R., I guess you can cross “Debris” off the project build list.
But it looked so much better on ebay.
crap!!!They said it came with a new carburator aaand look nooo can of paint.im callen em.
Well, maybe it will be OK with a .30 rebore.
It ran when I put it the crate
“At least this crate will double as a cool shop coffee table.”
Well, I guess I should have listened to dad more when he said ” Always remember to read the fine print son.” Well to late now, good thing for Eastwood, I know I don’t have to read the fine print dealing with them.
Extreme makeover-CarVersion
Man I hope the 8mm plug wires are in there like I was told or I’m sending it back, sweet……
If it doesnt say made is USA dont buy it.
Dammit ! they sent a 2000 GMC Jimmy crate engine instead of the Mustang model I ordered!
Honey!!! I need a hair pin and I need it now!!
Oscar the grouch’s dream ride!!!!
Ok great it the crate engine for my rat rod
This doesn’t look anything like it did in the picture, it looks even better.
“Son, they call this a box of opportunity. Let’s get to work.”
Well Damm. They forgot the spark plugs.
Dad, is this a Small Block or a Big BLock?
Holie rusted engine Batman! Dam it Robin, were you shopping on E-bay again!
Good thing I have my Eastwood catalog !
At least the crate is in good condition.
Looks like NOS means different things to different folks!
hahahah, I hope it just needs a oil change jr
