Salvaged corvette engines in Indiana? >>

For the life of me I can't find this old post anywhere on the site and it wasn't that long ago. Somebody asked about whether ot rebuild his 305 or rebuild a 350 and swap it. Someone else recommended an place in Indiana that sells salvaged vette engines - i remember that the engines go for around $500 and the engine plus 700R-4 for about $700. Who said this? I live in Indiana and I'd like to know the name of this place so I can place an order! hehe - thanks a lot for the info. I put this on the motor swap board but no one answered...

Don't know if this is it or not, but Box of Rocks told me a place that sounds like what you are looking for. Hankin's Corvette 812-723-2617 e-mail is shankins@aol.com. I have not got any prices, but if it that cheap, e-mail me and let me know.

IROC,

Yup, twas me. The place is Hankins corvette.

You'll need to call to find out what his current inventory is, and to get current prices.

Also, I recommend to both you fellas to get a copy of Corvette and Chevy Trader. This rag is full of Corvette recyclers all over the U.S.

Many sell take-outs from late model wrecks - but they're all "buyer beware" units - so be careful.
