1985 Dodge Ram 4wd

I have a 1985 Dodge Ram that I am parting out. I expect to keep the chassis and running gear and restore the frame for use with an older Dodge truck, but I am loosing the cab and bed. If I sell the bed before I convert it to a trailer then that's fine, but I do intend on cutting the bed up to turn it into a dump trailer. I will sell the restored frame for the right price, or I will trade the entire truck for a Corvair truck, but I will not sell the frame unrestored unless the price is right. AG

   I'm working on setting up my engine rebuilding bench, mainly because I need a few engines for my own use. But since I have fortune engine laying around, I expect that I will be doing a few of those engines over again, just to get good running engines on the shelf. I expect to be crating the disassembled components into single engine batches. I have both 164 and 145 CI engines. I have a number of FC engines, but I want to make sure I have four of them for my own use. I am always looking for some degree of parts, but I really need to be reducing my inventory rather than increasing it, since I am 67 yrs old.  If you are looking for an engine, check here from time to time and I will post what I have for sale. As it stands now, I have an 80 hp engine that came out of a VW and presumably has a reverse cam. That engine currently is assembled, but does not turn over. I want $500 for it, pickup at my shop only, I won't ship it, but I may deliver for $2/mile it if it's not too far.

   I have begun to review the status of my Corvair supplies, because the work on "The Gnomes of New Hope" has progressed that I feel ok about spending energy on rebuilding the Corvairs again. I had stopped working on Corvairs because it was getting in the way of the creative work I was doing in the theatre. Now that the Storybooks are very close to being finished, working on mechanical stuff again will not interfere with finishing the work. So I am setting up to concentrate on engine work. I will be setting up a page for the Corvairs, so look for a link to that page appearing on the IMS Virtual Studio page. I have been "doing" Corvairs since 1970. AG

Here's an image, just to make it interesting. I've posted a Corvair engine that is set up to mount to a VW transaxle. It's on Facebook Marketplace. $500 for that engine, with a second engine thrown in for another $100. That is a limited time offer, as I may choose to keep the engines and rebuild them. AG

ARCHIVE

I have a collection of Corvair Parts which have been part of my maintenance supplies. I'm reducing my parts down to only one extra powertrain for each of my two Corvairs. I have a 1966 Convertable and a 1961 FC Rampside. I am looking for some parts too, so I will be posting a list here of parts for sale and parts I'm seeking. I would be interested in selling the parts as a lot, but not until I assure that the parts are inventoried to assure that I keep what I need for my vehicles. I know I have about thirteen engines, most of which are disassembled. I also know I have a set of 180 turbo heads, an 80 hp set up for VW, about four truck blocks a late model power top frame (complete but disassembled) I may refinish the top frame and make that available. I'll post photos her later. AG
