need new engine

[kmcormick9]

i am looking for a rebuilt or rebuildable midget/spitfire 1500 engine, preferably a 76. price needs to be reasonable too

 

[Gary Lloyd]

Do you want cheap or good?? If you want good call Tom Bedenbaugh
E-mail Address(es):
BEATINBALL@aol.com
Anything else would be like racing a Honda!! Tom is the best, and he will get you whatever horsepower there is in one of them little thingey's!!

 

[kmcormick9]

do you have any idea what his prices are like? all i am really looking for as far as mods to the block is the addition of cam bearings.

 

[Gary Lloyd]

e-mail him!! Tell him I told you to call him, he is a real down-to-earth-no-BS sort of guy!! He will tell you your worst case senario!! I would trust him with an airplane engine that he had never seen before!! His shop is in Memphis, and they are a little slow right now, so maybe it will be a good deal!! Trust me, if Tom builds it it will be a good deal!! No matter how much it costs!! And don't take that to mean it will be expensive!!

 

[kmcormick9]

i checked with him and he was out. anybody else know of anybody?

I know Tony Barnhill has a rebuildable one. Check for his address the The Autoist
Tell him Gary sent you.

If he doesn't have one I might have another line, but it might take some detective work. email me

 

[Gary Lloyd]

Tom is around!! He has been e-mailing me!! Don't tell Tony I sent you, he doesn't like Canadians unless they enjoy him laughing at their own country!!

Tell him Chuck sent you, because they are partners in a couple of small businesses!!

I know Tom is around, I just don't think he has any 1500 engines, and if Tony doesn't have one I'll chase down the wrecked migetin the barn in louisville, if it is still there

 

[Gary Lloyd]

If I was this Honda racing dude, I would send my engine to Tom!! I bet he has it done in a week!!

 

[Guest]

I don't think he races Hondas, go to the chat room

Gary....where do you get off saying I don't like Canadians...heck, the only person on the BBS with an inferiority personality complex is you...take a look at theList to see the number of Canadians there...if I didn't like Canadiansthere wouldn't be any! &, I wouldn't be spending over a month this summer in your country...believe your anti-American vein is coming out...should I call Steven in to confirm that assessment?

I realize there's a lot of joking going on, but please take the flaming to another playground.

I was just joking Tony!! I know you like Canucks!! See you soon!

Didn't you see how Chuck had said 'tell him Gary sent you'??? Relax!!

For your location I would suggest (1st) Healey Surgeons (Bruce & Inan Phillips) in Takoma Park, MD https://www.healeysurgeons.com

or Jeff at Motorhead in Alexandria, VA
https://www.motorheadltd.com/

Tell them I told you to call.

I would say bring to me but I am a "tad" out of the way for you.

Whatever you do be SURE to have Trust Washers pinned!!!!

Good Luck!!
