I went to a swap meet recently and came home with a box of parts. After sorting thru them (and my own engine parts box), I came up with the following to see if anyone might be interested in trading me for any of these 1/25 engines. I am in Illinois and would prefer to ship to just the lower-48 states 

What parts I'm looking for, (in 1/25 scale), are:

Pairs of Weber side-draft carburetors

Flathead Ford V8 engine block 

Flathead Ford V8 performance parts 

AMT '65 Chevelle "Time Machine" Street Freak Funny car chrome front wheels

Goodyear Eagle VR-50 performance street tires

Sets of (4) Chrome trim rings for standard 60's-70's muscle car tires 

...any interesting parts?

The 1/25 engines I'm offering for trade are as follows:

A = built/incomplete 327 from AMT '65 Chevelle station wagon 

B = built/incomplete SBC Corvette from mid-1960s (this one maybe 1/24)

C = built/incomplete SBC from mid-1970s?

D = built/incomplete Chevy marked with LT1 on the valve covers 

N = unbuilt/incomplete Revell '83 Hurst Olds 442 V8 (comes with an extra block and 1 extra head/valve cover piece)

Holy Wah!

I didn't know those engines were trade fodder!

I have a Couple Shoe Boxes full of old engines!

Good Luck with you trades!

I'm just throwing them out there Alan in case someone sees anything they could use!

I'm only looking for random small pieces and parts in-trade so thought I'd see if there's any interest!
