Motor sold locally, no shipping.

So far I have had inquiries from local to Norway, including France. The shipping and duties to France are astronomical. I was quoted $7K+ air and a whopping $13K+ for sea. There's no doubt, with all the oddball contacts that came pouring in, that DHL has many outlets for their services and "subcontractors" have infiltrated their ranks with inflated prices. I could have offered him a much better deal thru Wallenius Wilhelmsen Shipping which calls in to the Port of Tacoma and Belgium. He could have made the trek to Belgium himself and saved big.

Really sorry to hear that guys.. And you were so close.. Building a Lincoln is not for the faint of heart..I have done them for many years.. They are supper rugged and reliable and make good power but you have to be imaginative to create parts to make them work.. For years you could put the Lincoln Y enthusiasts in a phone booth but in the last couple years i have advised several guys doing builds.. One in the UK with a replica Mexican road race car....  Be patient  someone will be happy to get your engine.

compression check went good, we're sure it was low earlier due to fuel mixed in the oil from the Webers Carbs. More run time will allow the rings to seat better with the fresh oil.  We put the 302 back in the car and the 368 is now up for sale. $3000 complete less teapot factory carb. Turnpike valve covers and ceramic coated Y exhausts if you don't like the stockers. Vacuum is 19.
   

  

  

  

Everything put back together. The engine runs fine but we still have to do a compression check. 

Got a valve and gaskets. We're going to try to put this back together with stock intake and see what the compression looks like.

Hey Ted, gotta extra exhaust valve you want to part with?  Marty

we're considering it but probably not. I need an exhaust valve. EGGE has one but they want $21 shipping for a $29 valve. I have a hard time with that. I was wondering if there were any other valves that I could use.

Very sorry to read this. You fellas poured in way too much effort to just walk away. That Lincoln Y is a super georgous and very unique engine that would make your car one of a kind. Maybe consider a more traditional build but with a mild custom cam and cruise-o-matic or???? I think there's still a lot of good there to work with. You have shown a lot of attention to detail so why not keep the 368?

Our build has come to an end. One of the bronze guides wasn't fitted properly and bent a valve. After pulling the heads off we found some contamination in #3 cylinder. The whole engine needs to be rebuilt probably .30 over. We're not willing to spend another $2500. Anyone interested in 368 parts? LOL. Also, FYI, with the Bentson adapter to marry the 368 up to my Ford AOD tranny, it pushes the engine so far forward that I would either have to push everything back an inch or find a 2" radiator just to get the water pump to fit without the fan. We thought we had it measured correctly but we were an inch off in final length. It was hard to get exact measurements until we put the spare block in and discovered the issue. I might have tried to shoehorn it in with a custom 2 core radiator but when we discovered the internal damage, we decided to throw in the towel. Getting the Webers to work was also difficult, we were pouring gas into the engine like crazy with no end in sight unless we wanted to spend countless dollars in jets hoping they would fit these chinese knock-offs. No one wanted to admit what brand they are to get parts and fishing around for these jets could have been futile. Moral of the story: be happy with what you got if it's running fine. The 302 will be going back in.
