Re: [AMC-list] grant rebel engine ?

["Rocky Lear" <lear31@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's it. I was trying to find a way to buy it several years ago. I think 
that was around 2002. The guy who owned it then. in a burb of Chicago, had 
the engine and a lot of other parts that went with it which are not listed 
in the new offering. I know there was another set of heads like that and a 
few cranks and a bunch of other stuff that would have brough several 
thousand dollars own it's own.  Back them I think the deal was $6500 or 
$7000 for everything. Obviously the engine would be worth more with the car 
and vice versa. If I was the guy in Louisiana, I'd have bought it back then 
when it surfaced...at any cost. The owner told me that he recovered the 
engine from a scrap yard near him. Someone loaded it up and hauled it in for 
scrap and a few bucks.
