Re: 396 Engine option...opinions

It sounds like the park pawl is broken in the trans. Pretty simple fix, cheap parts. It might even be the roll pin the secures the park pawl, and that's an even cheaper fix. If you can pick up the engine/trans for cheap, do it. I'd try to stay at $750 max, but offer $500 and work your way up from there.

With today's gas prices, you almost can't give a big block away. It's a shame because they are great engines.
