Whew! makes the spare 258 I got look like a bargain after-all. Although it's not got any transmission with it and is missing things like water pump and fuel pump, it's basically a brand new engine.
Just wish it was "Eagle compatable".
Didn't know the mighty 258 was getting that much now.

The only 258 that holds that value is the 71. It's a one year only design that allows the 258 to be put into a 60's 232/199 car without changing out the trans. It is a "sleeper" engine for the purist or someone who doesn't want to change the under hood looks of his car.
   72 up has the passenger side starter.
