Thread: Found a 58' 348 on family property, what do I do?

Tweet

Hello all,

Brand new to this site and I’m a non mechanic, my specialty is woodwork.

While going through family property I came across an engine I’ve seen sitting in a corner for years. Before giving it away to a salvage guy I started wiping it down to find IDs etc. and it’s old and rusty
I believe it’s a 58’ 348 and it has a transmission attached (Turboglide) a Rochester 4 jet carburetor on top

I’m debating trying to sell it
but.......I feel like putting it on an stand and gradually(again non mechanic) taking it apart with the proper research and guidance and breaking it down myself. Clean it up and possibly rebuild it for myself. Using patience and taking my time. I would like the experience more than the money. Any suggestions?
