Projected Look Spring 2008

FOR SALE
Thunderjet Engine
engine serial is 2B508321

When I acquired this project car the original SCJ engine was long gone to be replaced with this 1972 429 Thunderjet engine.  I was  told by the person who sold me the SCJ that this Thunderjet 429  engine had been rebuilt prior to being installed and would have less than 5,000 Km.  This was very evident when we pulled the valve covers, the pan and the heads.  Here's the engine tag and some close-up photos.

Wide shot of the one head off and engine serial inset

Note how clean the inside of the valve covers are

I cleaned up one piston to see if the engine was bored.  No evidence on the piston and the bore measured 4.339 inches

Nice clean 72 D2VE-AA open chamber combustion chamber.

Engine with Autolite 4V carb and aluminium valve covers

Close up of the head casting and clean valve train

Engine is complete with electronic distributor, car, 4V carb and intake, fuel pump and SCJ aluminium valve covers. If you are interested in this engine make me an offer.... local pick-up only.
