Very lucky to find a HT GTS350 manual engine that hasn't been rebuilt and been decked in the process. Most of them were rebuilt in the 70's, although being a later Pagewood build it may have had an engine not from that initial batch.

GMH had to get them rebuilt locally but rings put in were wrong and most died pretty quickly. This is why it is so rare to find an unopened manual HT-HG GTS350 US engine. Plenty of auto and Canadian engines and 327’s.

He did not have the original engine but found one that was out by less than a dozen engine numbers. Not sure what happened to the owner or the car. Warren
