Engine Cores

Rebuildable engine cores for engine rebuilders, machine shops and restorers. Cores are sold as-is for rebuilding, not as running engines.

What is an engine core?

An engine core is a used engine sold as the starting point for a rebuild, or to return as a core exchange. Cores are typically not running, may be incomplete, and may have damage. The value is in the block, crankshaft, heads and other parts that can be machined and reused.

What condition to expect

  • Cores are sold as-is and are not described as running engines unless that has been verified
  • Components may be missing, such as accessories, sensors, manifolds or the oil pan
  • There may be internal or external damage; known damage is listed
  • Machining and inspection are needed before reuse
