Goat engine specs

[wreckerman893]

Can someone tell me the weight and horsepower of the aluminum engine in the Goat?
Also are there any crated ones for sale for less than the price of a kidney?

And just what is the cost of a used but still good kidney these days?

101hp, and about 800lbs.

And no, you'll pay two or more kidneys. They're sought after by many.

An iron-block 3-53 can be had easier, and is more reliable in the long run.

I'd start looking on eBay & FB marketplace.

Goat motors were one-off engineered in aluminum alloy blocks, to save weight for use in them. Not a lot of other places will you find one.

Several other Detroits were produced in alloy, and all suffered from liner O-ring seal failures due to fretting against the iron liner. Glycol in the oil pan was bad juju.
