My girl friend Mary told me the story about her first car, it was a 1974 2 door Plymouth Valiant slant six auto... when I first met her, say 8 years ago. I had a few mopars then. She went on to tell how she and her brother dumped an old motor, that was the old SL6 motor out of her car, as she got a replacement for the car from its trunk... they dumped it into a school yard, in 1990... she was 22, her brother 16.
I said "lets ee if we can find it" ..we did last week, b4 the snow.

This is odd that dumped engine is in school's yard... someone would had noticed and taken it away as clean-up to keep hazards down?

yet, still good to get it and given to someone who can restore it, unless there is a hole busted out by thrown rod?

Cheers, Wizard

I would love to see pictures and videos of the recovery, teardown, and startup. If you can get the motor to turn over, I bet you could bolt on an oil pan and all the external bits and fire it up. It might run like crap, but I bet it would run!
