Star Engines

Post by modeltbarn » Tue Jun 16, 2020 8:48 am

Not Ford, but I want to find a home for these.

There are two engines, one with a 23 casting date, the other is 24. Both are very near complete. One has the block busted up with freeze cracks, the other has a pulley on it for a stationary engine. It sure looks like enough to build one good engine. I’ll give these to someone Who’s into Stars, but they’ll have to pick them up and there’s no equipment to help load. Location is Southern CA.

Thanks for trying to save them. This forum is a great place to show them. So much of this stuff goes begging. A friend rescued an old belt drive drill press thinking I could use it but I have 2 and no more space. I tried to get him to take some pictures but no luck.
If nothing else it is wonderful to see the pictures.
Thanks
Rich
When did I do that?

So far we've saved 4 chassis, 2 trailer loads and about 10 truck loads of parts, mostly T,A, late 30s Ford, some Buick and some Dodge. We're down to the last few bits... this is one I'd really like to find a home for!

I am pleased to hear that a lot of that stuff has gone to new homes! I have seen a few other postings and noticed a lot of good stuff in the backgrounds. I am currently not in a position to add to my project count.
