Anyone need 389 for practice rebuilding??
I have a 389 engine & hydramatic 3-speed transmission from my 1960
Pontiac. I took it out & swapped it for another of the same. Engine still runs but would love to be rebuilt. Trans has probably ground gear. Or any ideas of who could take this off my hands?? You pick up in Austin,TX within the week! |

I'd put an add in Hemmings, 389 engines are fairly rare.

This guy is going to believe that his engine is now worth its weight in gold. The 389 Pontiac MAY be rare in your own back yard, but I can put my hands on a dozen or so within a week with, perhaps, three telephone calls. Sell the engine for its scrap value........ OR ..........donate it to the local vocational school for a practice piece. |

Shep > wrote in article >... > I'd put an add in Hemmings, 389 engines are fairly rare. Somebody named "catalinagirl" is giving it away........ Wouldn't a staunch Pontiac fan want to keep such a rare piece?....if it were, indeed, so rare, that is.... I suspect Catalinagirl has a pretty good handle on the true value of this piece of cast iron..... .......and that you're just another self-annointed "expert" - a wannabe posing as some sort of authority on Pontiac values...... |

Asshole, who do you think you are, plenty of classic Pontiac enthusiasts
would be interested in a decent 389, did you ever build a classic car from the ground up and win awards with the it, if not fade out of this knucklehead. I never said it was worth 10gs, unless the block is cracked or it spun a bearing someone can use it!!!!

Have you been such a likeable human being for the same amount of time? Beware everyone, Mr. * is not to be messed with. He's a legend in his own mind. The list of stuff he doesn't do is nearly endless, yet he seems to be an "expert" on any subject that comes up. I think he's suffering from a case of terminal optical rectumitis. |

You're just jealous because you HAVE TO deal with every slob that comes down the pike or you'll be fired from your front counter position, and moved back to the fryolater. You'll never know how it feels to have so much work available that you are able to pick and choose what you work on. Took me a while to get there, but I would not go back. |

As usual, you're degenrating into insults. And....you know NOTHING about me. That said, you're helping to make my point. The position you claim to occupy is that of an exclusive specialist. You only build circle track cars that turn left on friday nights or whatever it is. You don't work on FDW "junk" (your term), you don't work on anything post 1990 or whatever. When you narrow your focus like that, there's a lot about cars you don't know, by default. Automotive technology is moving forward at a rate that we've never seen the likes of. It takes continuing education to keep up. And before you start the junior high chestbeating "i'll put my 40 years of experience up against yours anyday..." stuff, save it. I'm sure there's a lot of things you know that I don't. I'm also sure I have working knowledge of things you've never heard of. BFD. Grow up a little, guy. |
