Like the title says, I am looking for 3b engine and tranny with electrical and all misc items included. I would prefer a half cut, though I haven't seen one pop up in awhile.
I'll be parting a BJ70 pretty soon. I'm keeping the wiring. Unsure on the alt and starter. But everything else is complete (radiator to transfer... axles too, if you want'm).
Not super keen on shipping... located in Bay Area, CA.
The benefits of a half cut are that you have a complete example to start with, so you know what it's supposed to look like in the end, and you've got all of the brackets, bolts, and miscellaneous stuff that makes a swap a pain sometimes. I also believe that half-cuts are significantly harder to import lately than just a few years ago.
FWIW, I'm casually keeping my eyes open for a diesel to stuff into my '75 Piggy rebuild. Now I know one more thing to keep my eyes open for Thanks guys!
for any of those looking, I know Matt Tarnow has a 3B with H55 and t/c out of a bj7x series sitting in his barn that he's looking to sell. Suspect he also has the wiring and other misc parts.
Many should recognize his name as one of the old school guys... he's been parting cruisers for tens of years and will treat you well. He's just not much for the whole interweb thing...
call or email him if you're interested... wouldn't hurt my cause if you mention I sent you that way.
