Salvage yards with Continental LD465 engines or parts?

[Goldsburg]

Hi everyone!

I am in need of Salvage yard info for locating Continental LD465 engines, parts, or cores. Not looking for rebuilt engines, as I have the skills and tools to rebuild it myself! Any leads that you could provide are greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Red River Parts and Equipment has these. It’s very expensive to rebuild these engines, which is why most everyone opts for good running take outs.

I know where there a bunch out on the ground. LD/LDT and I think LDS.

I'd definitely try to get some engines that have most of the parts there. For just a core, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it could be upwards of $3k to fully rebuild one and aquire all the essential components. I've priced out what it would be to do all new pistons, sleeves, and bearings, from the site I was on, about $1300, which isn't bad considering the market, but these didn't have the connecting rods so imagine another $2-500 for those if you needed them. Shop around and keep an eye out, even on YT vids, sometimes guys will take out a good running engine to swap something more up to date and common, selling the take out for a decent price.

You might get lucky. When mine detonated and broke the block webbing I found a friend with a running in in South Florida. SS Freight got it the Georgia Rally in an engine can and another friend brought to OH. I swapped mine and sold the destroyed motor for more than I paid for the runner.

Right now there is at least one partial sitting in my barn and an old block sitting over at the other barn. I have no idea what the condition is of either of them.

How big of a trailer do you have? I've got three engines in cans that I'll likely never do anything with, and a fourth that was idled w/o any coolant in the system. I should also have 'somewhere' six LDS piston assemblies and a couple of hundred poppet valve push rods! Start a conversation with me if you are interested.

Sounds like you are surrounded by mini gold mine, lol.

We have been to Mike's place. You are not wrong.

Who do you think sold him one of the cans.
