FS: 1968 1600 Motor and Trans, Will part if needed

[HobieDog]

Price: $1

Location: New Hampshire

Description:

I purchased a parts car today that has a 1600 in it with a VIN on the block of 1561407, which dates to a 1967 1600. 118 stamp on the head.

 

The motor does turn over by hand, otherwise I know nothing about it.    The vehicle was stored indoors for the last 8 years, before that it was outside for an unknown period of time.  Will explore more later and maybe drop in fresh oil and attempt a start.  

 

I am relatively new to the 2002 world, so may need some guidance answering any specific questions.   

 

Interestingly, the parts car is a 1975 2002 that started its life as an automatic but this motor was installed at some point.  I haven't verified the transmission yet, but am assuming it is from the same donor 1600 as the engine. 

 

Located in NH.  Not sure what this is worth - open to suggestions and offers. I can part the motor out but would prefer to avoid that if possible.  

 

Thanks!

That serial # is more indicative of a 68 or early 69 1600. There is no difference in the motor. During the later part of 69 they went to an 8 hole Crankshaft vs. the 6 hole. But, other than that all standard 1600 motors were the same. The electrical for 66-67 was 6V. The style of valve cover on the motor is also indicative of a 68 and later car.

 

What is it worth ?

 

With things like this you always assume it needs a complete rebuild.

Came from a Nov '67 build car, so as Alexei (Slavs) says, it's for a '68 model 1600-2.

Thanks guys. I used the vin decoder and looked up the vin range in the table and mistook build date for more year.  Editing subject line to reflect that. 
 

Will attempt to get running this week.
