365 Engine for 57 Sedan Deville

[alokker]

I recently picked up a 57 Sedan Deville that is in need of an engine. I know some have swapped in later model engines but I would prefer to keep this car period correct and not deal with the headaches of fitting in one of the larger inch engines. I know the 365s are hard to come by. Will also consider a 390 if I can find one.

Hi,
Where are you ? Engines are hard to ship, so it could be an important detail.
The '56 transmission in totally different, the engine has a couple small differences, but workable. A 1958 Cadillac 365 engine and transmission is much more similar, so you should include it in your search. You will need to use a 1957 water pump and pulley's no matter which engine you use as well

 I have a 57 engine and transmission. The motor turns freely. I took it out of a Coupe de Ville, but I never had the motor running. No water pump, distributor, starter, carb, exhaust manifolds. As Mike said shipping would be difficult. I am in Buffalo NY. Thanx Frank

Hi Frank and Michael, thanks for the replies. I'm located in Farmingdale, NJ so getting an engine from Buffalo is definitely doable for me.

Adrian,
If you are interested in the motor and trans. I could dig it out of the garage in the next couple of days and send some pictures. You can email me direct at fpuma49@verizon.net or call at 716 874 3223. I.m asking $500 for both. Thanx Frank
