RB 383, low mileage to boot. Thinking that would be a fairly rare motor! 1959 only.a complete 383 long tube cross ram RB engine.
Assuming it needs to be refreshed because it’s been sitting so long what is a decent price, I know he doesn’t want to give it away but I just have no idea what it’s worth. I see the long tubes induction for $3000 and shorts for lessRB 383, low mileage to boot. Thinking that would be a fairly rare motor! 1959 only.
Interesting.
Yeah, I sure would! Assuming it turns. Wonder why it sat? Little bit I've heard on them, the intake, motor has to be cammed right, to run the way it was designed. Normally went in C body cars.Assuming it needs to be refreshed because it’s been sitting so long
Sry to hear that you lost yours to scrap.Think that would be hard to say. Maybe some of the other guys know different. What does the seller think it's worth?
Had a set of long rams, for a little while. Until my brother did me the big favor, and sold 'em for scrap. Just the manifolds themselves, paid a whopping $25 for them, back in 1970.

It has the original Tran still on the motor, but thanks for the tipif the crank is original, extended flange, you may have some issues trying to bolt it up to a '62 or later transmission.
I recently purchased a 65 satellite convertible, I know someone with a complete 383 long tube cross ram RB engine. I am thinking about buying the motor for my satellite. Does anyone know if the cross ram will fit and what the complete motor is worth. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks RickPictures here might help a little. It looks like the passenger side inner fender is the problem. http://car-from-uk.com/sale.php?id=90647
call Scott Smith at Harms Automotive, he seems to know alot about this. besides the different Look, maybe a crossram would look better. but its your car!For what you can sell the long ram manifolds for alone, you can buy a re-pop short ram (A&A Transmission), linkage, air cleaners, and brand new 600 cfm Edelbrocks--and I know for a fact they'll fit in the engine compartment (also, a lot easier to adjust your valves when needed).
