Wish you were closer to East Arkansas. Last 2-3 I've bought have looked similar, but I've gotten them for $40-50 (mainly because they had complete engines).

Gas would eat me alive driving all the way to Arkadelphia. I appreciate the offer though!

Yeah I hope someone can get some use out of it. It actually did run when I brought it home! Not very well or very long of course, but I was surprised. It has a pretty nasty head leak, but the engine should be sound with a lot of TLC.

Well id love to have it as a parts engine to keep my 86 350 running
Not to mention the rear bumper on it!
BUT...... I won't be passing through Arkansans till at least next month when I head to Louisiana to see my Folks again
If its still around then id love to stop by and pick it up on my way through
I might even find a gas tank ny then and have the old beast running again

Of course if it's gone by then I'll understand but if not I have a good home for it

Actually I did pull off the wiring harness and all electronics. I'm going to part them out since they won't work on the DC (?) '86.

Got the CDI, coil, regulator/rectifier, and the harness minus the wires that go into the engine (neutral indicator and oil temp?)

The engines are a bit different, but I bet most of the parts are interchangeable. If I still have it when you drive through, it's yours, but I had hoped to get rid of it quick!

I didn't dig into the differences in engines too much, since I didn't plan on keeping it. The left side crankcase design (starter?) and the kickstart pressure relief mechanism are different, but everything is the same shape and size so trans/clutch/topend is probably the same?

Welcome back Shade.

That mean I can't bring you these 5 350D motors and let you build them all for me? :devil
why would you need me to rebuild them, when you can rebuild them just as good as me ?!, or..have you not learned how to work on 30 plus year atvs ??.lmfao.

Because that underlined part isn't true!

I've got one apart and cleaned out, just have to put it back together now. Have the covers off the 2nd motor so I can use it for reference.

This is the first sideways motor I've worked on, so things are a little different.
