The project is to resurrect a sailplane launch winch which has a 60's (we think) 350cid Olds motor and auto transmission. At the moment, we really don't know what we've got, but the motor is pretty well seized due to sitting 10+ years. At the moment it seems like the easiest solution would be to find an identical motor that is running (or at least will turn over) and swap them out.
We know the winch was built roughly in the 70s and suspect the motor to have come from perhaps a late 60's olds car. One person who saw the motor recently said he thought it might be a "307". I have a couple pics I can send to anyone who thinks they can identify it.
It's a V8, has what I'd describe as a small two barrel carb on it. Oil filter is mounted in a vertical position on the aft right side of the engine just behind the exhaust cross over tube. The water pump is directly over the main pulley and there is only about 3/8" clearance between the pulley on the crank and the water pump pulley. Altenator is located on the top right side. Distributor is located on the top of the motor just aft of the intake manifold. Fuel pump is located on the front of the motor just below the altenator.
Thanks for any help!
