Is this stinking game over yet ? Looks like a biohazard to me.
IT’S A GARBAGE TRUCK ENGINE
SEEING IS BELIEVING……..I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES
one mans junk is another mans treasure
Bought a “pig in a poke” once but even it didn’t look this hopeless.
the site stated that picture is for repensentation only “Thank you craiglist”
I can’t find the warranty statement.
THIS STUFF IS STARTING SMELL A LITTLE FISHY !!
IS THE CONTEST OVER YET?
FROM THE SMELL OF IT, I THINK WE WERE SENT AMC MARLIN PARTS INSTEAD OF CAPRI.
THE WINNER OF THE CONTEST MUST PAY ALL TAXES AND FEES ASSOCIATED WITH DISPOSING OF THIS CRATE AND IT’S SMELLY CONTENTS. IT SHOULD COME TO A TOTAL OF ABOUT $275. AND WE DO NOT TAKE EASTWOOD BUCKS. Thanks, J.R.
SENIOR J.R.
I am Jose and my brother told me that you need lots of help with your PROJECT DABRIS-CAPRI. I can see it now, with a fine tuck-n-roll interior. It will be as cool as ICE man(did I say that?).
We take cash only, not like SENIOR EASTWOOD that wanted to pay us in some sort of money that is called ”EASTWOOD BUCKS”.
I’d better get started. It’ll about a year to get it installed. Where’s my engine polish.
KNOW WUT I MEAN?
Dude?!!~!!. This isn’t snap-n-fit. I’m gonna need glue…
SHOENIOR J.R.?
I JUST GOT INTO TOWN AND I NEED A JOB.
I WORKED ON CHEBYS BACK IN MY HOME TOWN.
I can spitshine this sucker thanks to my inharitance from good old uncle Eastwood.
I still have a chance at the ”roughest thing running” catagory.
I’d say it’s in the bag.
WELL I GUESS THIS MEAN GET READY FOR A Tetanus Shot AGAIN,, ITS BEEN AWHILE,,,
I THINK IT IS TIME TO SPEND MY EASTWOOD BUCKS.

JR, better hit the Ebay Resolution Center quick!
Awww, JR. I told you that if he had zero feedback on Ebay not to buy from him.
The garbage man is supposed to haul away the trash; not drop it off!
I think that’s more of a “dog crate” engine!
So that’s what they meant by “seasoned” block!? I think it’s been around for a few too many seasons!
So that’s what they
J.R.,did they pay you or did you have to pay them for this crate?
Oh Just Look at This!!! When I was your age this is what we called a real performance engine.
SURPRISE!SURPRISE!SURPRISE! WHAT CHA THINK SARGE! THINK WE CAN FIX IT?
Huh, well at least this crate is in pretty good shape.
“Honey! I’m gonna need that extra roll of duct tape!”
Well Golly, Where should I start?
Is there an instruction booklet included?
“There’s gotta be a pony in there, somewhere!”
Garbage box? Ha! Nothing a little rust converter can’t fix!
Holy Ruted Paper Weight!
Oh my,why did they sent the parts for a 1947 car when I said 1974.Thanks!
lstanziani(at)yahoo(dot)com
For just pennies a day you can help hobo-engines find warmth in the cold winter nights.
I think we can make this work! A little paint here, a new bolt there, finished!
Now, where did I put that carburetor?
“At least T can start on the lawnmower now!”
WHERES THE BEEF
Sometimes, ‘dinner out of the box’ isn’t all that appetizing.
no pedal to put to this metal
I guess it is the “debris capri”!!!!
A carb amd a cap to create a Holley Folly.
Han Solo to Chewbacca: “They called the Millennium Falcon an old crate too, but they just lacked the will and imagination and elbow grease to make it fly!”
the crate costs more than the contents! (bargain sales)
Obviously they forgot the little dessicant packet!
Hey, they forgot the plug wires!
Guess I should have sprung for the chromed version.
I guess inspector number 29 must be on vacation.
When they say for the budget minded, they mean it!
Turnkey?
What happens when a man has too much time on his hands.
Thanks for the offer but I think I’ll just call a taxi!
Interesting
Eh all it needs is a little elbow grease and some duct tape and well have ourself a mighty fine racing machine!
There’s your problem
This isn’t how you recycle!
Nothing that a little duct tape and WD-40 won’t fix!
There’s a Corvette in there somewhere
The skil saw would be very helpful
I love the skil brand and hope I win
Hey, J. R.- it says ‘YUGO Crate Motor’ on the invoice!!
Let’s get er done!
Hell guys……All it needs is a little WD40.

Your favorite uncle died and left you his last project.
Eastwood will declare a dividend when I finish this order!
In my excitement my dreams made it look sooo much better.
car for sale: needs some work
Even MacGuyver had limits.
Skil tools Sees recycle-abities!
Only Eastwood products would take on this restoration challenge.
“ENGINE TRASH”
Zero to Junkyard in 10 Seconds flat!
There’s a detour there bo!
Did I order the short block or the long block ?
It’s late and no $%**&# instructions again!
This Holley ain’t going to have a jolly Christmas.
I spell my name with 2 R’s !
I spell by name with 2 “R’s”
I thought they said it was gonna be powder coated!
Some Assembly Required, with Adult Supervision.
“I ordered a crate engine not a crap engine”.

well….he did say it was a woody!
The Debris-Capri has it’s crate engine for the project. Now to get it out of the crate and on to the engine stand for the final assemble.
This will polish up nicely with a little paint, powdercoat, and duct tape…
That’s going to take a lot of Coca-Cola to get all that rust off!
I think with the help of Eastwoods rust remover I can fix it.
Those look like standard junk parts for a typical Capri.
“That’s the last time I order anything form those NPR Car Talk boys!?!”
“The junkyard called and said if you bring the engine back right now they won’t press any charges.”
Some assembly required.
No need to return a core. If you have a core, it’s probably better than this engine. There is a $25 fee if crate and packing material are not returned.
I said a Capri crate engine, not a crappy crate engine!
Doc, this not a spare flux capacitor.
Look! It’s the secret 100mpg engine we’ve all heard about!
Wow, another E-BAY winner! Should have shopped at Eastwood!
Hope you got the extended warranty on that…..
It’ll work for a “Weed Eater” but that’s about it.
Hmm….. Tastes Like Chicken.
Good,I’m glad it came with everything.
Wow! They even threw in a fan at no extra charge. Score!
Man that Rat Rod is gonna look sweet with this motor! But I think we’re gonna have to ugly it up a bit… This thing better burn oil or I’m gonna be pissed! And don’t hurt the crate! We needs seats and a dash as well!!!
Hope they didn’t charge extra for the packaging….
They don’t build them like they used to.
Hey bob, your ex wifes motor is in
But the ad said “ran when parked”!
Ok, let’s see that Bobby Flay guy make a stew out of this!
Where there’s a will, there’s a why.
This could be the start of something big.
Now I have a good excuse for the ordering all those great Eastwood Products! surley Eathel can’t say no now…
ALL FORD PARTS ,,,,,,NOT ONE GOOD GM PART AT ALL,,,I WILL ASK FOR PICTURES NEXT TIME,,
Nice and Ratty it’ll match just fine btw looks are deceiving its built
I expected bubble-wrap or styrofoam peanuts, but really…sandbags?
I’m sure glad Eastwood uses proper packing materials….it is going to take me forever to get this junk out of the way so I can see me pristine new crate engine
under this rusty engine and other junk used for packing material is my pristine new crate engine…honest!
How am I gonna explain to the wife I paid 5 bills for this?
OPPS!! I DID IT AGAIN.
The guy said it came with an oil pan!
“budget” crate motor complete from intake to exhaust
“It even came with headers!”
“Do you think it came with instructions?”
Check contents for damage. We are not liable for damage in transit.
One persons trash is another person garbage
I RUST CAN’T BELIEVE IT !!!!
We I think that problem is a loose spark plug wire.
the bolt on speed equipment is just icing on the cake
Hey DAAAD,Have you sent the core back yet?
LeRoy, now that I think about it, I believe that ad did say basket case and not crate!
Now I know what that “SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED” label meant. Hand me them plars and screwdriver Buford, this might take a spell.
“Who the heck packed this crate, monkeys at the zoo could do a better job!!”; And “Where is my performance ENGINE???”
Honey, I can’t find the remotor.
Race tuned, in 1960 awesome
The ad read “Roush engine for sale” forgot to ask what year it was built.
Race ready WHAT?
It sure didn’t take this long to post to our account!
That carb looks jetted a tad rich.
Well, THAT sure doesn’t meet my “Crate Expectations” ! !
“Hey J.R.The packing slip says you Brains were back-ordered”
” YEAH, I KNOW,BUT WE SAVED A BUNDLE BUYING THE RUSTOMOD VERSION!….”
That’ll buff right out.
Well they weren’t kidding about it being all OEM parts…
Hot Damned!!! Just a L’ill Eastwood Metal Conditioner & Paint…Shee’ill Be Ready To Run ???
Rat Rod Crate Motors for sale! Crates make excellent floorboards or door panels!
The discription said “Holly carb,MSD ignition,Edelbrock manifold,Hooker headers,Pypes exhaust,Miloden water pump & oil pan,Flex Fan and K+N air filter”?
I’m not sure I have the “SKIL”
This is gonna take a lot more “SKIL” than I thought!
Dang-it LeRoy, I told ja to stop washing yor car parts in the hot tub
” God I hope it’s a BOSS 302″
But the skipper said he could deliver it in only 3 hours.
This is gonna take longer than I thought.
Hmmmmm, now I recall clicking on ‘Engine Package A-Performance Kit’ when I ordered online, but it looks like they sent me ‘Engine Package B-Mystery Economy Kit’.
Wow! It’s an iron meteorite!
“Junkyard-in-a-Box! Everything you need to get started in the salvage business!”
Hurry get me a can of CARB RENEW, UNDERHOOD BLACK, AND EASTWOODS RUST CONVERTER and it’ll be good as new.
At least the crate is still good.
Hey look…a quarter
Hey no problem…that otta buff out real nice
Well the description did say “great for YOUR project”. If only it mention that IT was the project! 🙁
“sweet parts for the show car all i need is now is some carb renew, some high heat paint, and some under hood black she’ll be sure to look good”
This is a job for PhotoShop.
There’s a lesson here somewhere.
Where’s the beef?
BABY!!! This may take awhile
Honey!!! were’s the eastwood catolog?
WOW !!! Thats a nice crate
Can you say…SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED!
YOU WANT ORIGINAL, YOU GOT IT !!!!
YOU WANT ORIGINAL, YOU GOT IT !!!!!
You just wait and see if that Holley Carb doesn’t have the last laugh back in my ’57 Thunderbird!!
Dad!!…the new engine for your car is here!
if you think this will fit your capri: you might be a redneck
product info said may require slight modification. MADE IN CHINA
What the junk?!?!

SO THIS IS WHAT THEY MEANT BY “NEEDS WORK”
2012~ Mercruiser, ‘Sterndrive’, Crate engine~! ?:{>~

_____________________________
uhhohh better order eastwood
Is that a real carperambulater?
Well its a good thing he packed extra paper and padding in the crate to keep this anchor from getting messed up!
Well, I thought that guy just had a bad accent when he said mustang engine. But, now I completely understand why it sounded like he said RUSTANG engine. He is getting bad feedback for sure!!
I SURE HOPE EASTWOOD HAS AN APP FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey… I didn’t order those headers. Maybe they’re my free gift for ordering a thousand dollars worth of stuff. At least I think that’s what that foreign guy was talking about.
I`m glad i didn`t leave my Ebay feedback before this arrived!
Well, the small print said……….”Some parts not included”.
It must have been direct shipped from Michigan. It’s all rusted away.
Were are the spark plugs and wires? They were included.
Well now they did say it came from Ronnie Sox wrecked drag car .
I ordered an 8 cylinder, not a six!
Damn you EBAY!!!
I gues the term “crate engine” is subjective.
Now i do recall something about a fire at the factory……
Ain’t nuttin we can’t fix.
This is a father ,son project where are the instructions?
Oooooooole Boy, this is gonna be GREAT!!!
Sunova! I told them 3 times I wanted a Carter carb not a Holley!!!
I did leve a reply , I don’t see it .
Now, I must convince my wife that this is exactly what I was looking for and such a great deal.
“Honest, Prince Farouk me sent the dyno sheet. It says so right here, 512 hp at 6200 rpm. He said there would be some surface rust due to the long ocean voyage from Nigeria.”
It doesn’t quite look like the picture.!.!
Spare parts galore!!
A little rust dissolver and the hole box should just disappear.
When he told us he’d be receiving a crate motor we were all happy that he would finally be getting started, imagine our surprise when he opened it; “Dang, was it extra for the rusty used look, or was that free of charge??”
CRATE WORTH MORE THAN THE PARTS.
It’s the ol school, rat beater, get n neater, not a cheater, dirty look n, monster eater crate kit. Order yours today!! And be the First on Your block to be kool!!
What a Barn Find!
Crate ole Rust!!
“…….and this Rat Rod starter kit only cost me $5,000 plus shipping!”
what the hell!!!!!!@
Freight company picked up the wrong dumpster! Garbage man had another good week! Pour 1 galon EASTWOOD rust desolve into crate and put back out at the curb.
Dam pack rats were at it again.
“It’s a Jeep thing, you wouldn’t understand.”
Every part here at Rat City is carefully checked before shipping by One Eyed Jack, our quality control expert, and carefully packed in our state of the art “Shipping Cubes” before being left in the alley behind the shop for prompt pickup and shipment to you! Please allow 2 to 3 years for shipping!
(Craigslist) 1966 shelby 289 mint in box must sell $2000 or best.may trade for nice bike call Ben Over If my wife pick’s up hang up.
Is the engine under all this junk?
HOLY #!%$, I paid WHAT for this?
This must be what they mean about “making a silk purse out of a sows ear.”
Eager to save money with the shipping company FED-UP, J.R. soon learned that you get what you pay for. Meanwhile, there is a refugee that can’t find his raft….
Drop this sucker in that 55 gallon drum of carb cleaner in the warehouse and it’ll look good as new!
Oh look! We got the packing peanuts for our pachyderm.
Well,here’s the crate motor you ordered,the price was right.
The shipper’s 100% feedback just went out the friggin window.
A little wirewheel work and we’ll be ready to drop this sucker in!
Wow! When we purchased this from Matt M. he wasn’t kidding when he said we would be doing R & D for every Eastwood product.
The preservation padding took me forever!
That silver thing must be the free air bag accessory that came as a bonus gift.
I told you (don’t) yell at the sales people.
A good mechanic would have this re-built by lunch.
THE ADD SAID “CRATE MOTOR. MINT IN BOX”, AND INDEED THERE WAS A DELICIOUS MINT IN THE BOTTOM OF THE BOX.
thanks Fiat.
lee iaccoca
WOW! LOOK this one came with the carb.
Eastwood and A little elbow gease it’ll look as good as new
Good start to recycle program Jimbo, but, but, however, shoot, don’t you think you should have dumped the trash out first!
Wow great pack job no damages!
OOOPS
Hmmmm – I wonder if Eastwood’s Rust Converter will convert this to a fresh GM RamJet 502?
Let’s see; all I need now are heads, plugs, bearings, rings, wires, distributor, machine shop, transmission, bell housing, air filter, clutch, …
Perfect – all I need now are tailpipes & a radiator & I’m all set.
Very funny guys, now where the heck is my engine?
HEY! I didn’t order a Ford!
Darn, I thought the ad said “Restored Engine” — not “Engine Restoration Project”
WHAT THE F**K!
I sure am glad I got that new Eastwood Crsdit card with double reward points!!!!
YOU GOTTA BE (@?*^5!”)KIDDING ME…OK, WHERE DID YOU HIDE THE CAMERAS?

Opportunity of a lifetime “Do it yourself crate engine” all parts included, “maybe”
It’s a good thing I work for Eastwood!
Is it a Rat Or Mouse, oh, wait it both!

I thought I was getting a Chevy, not a Ford.
Dang it, I knew I should have asked to see pictures before bidding on that online auction!
now that,s a keeper,nice.
Let me tell ya these rat rod motors ain”t cheap.
Is it a HEMI ?
I said CRATE! Not CRAP!
Now this is a job for Eastwood tools and supplies!!!
This company said they were built on TRUST not RUST!
What the? Where’s Waldo?!!!
New meaning for “Express Shipping”….LOL
“DANG GUM!!! We got the wood for the stagecoach, a do-hicky do-dad to tie the horses to, a gable fan blade for the chicken coop, pipes for the local watering hole and maybe the goat will eat the rest.”
“Hot damn! (Slap your knee while saying this.) At least they spared no expense on all that packing foam, and crumpled paper. I mean, imagine if it shipped in some cheap bubble wrap.”
I ordered remaned not relapsed !!!
Some assembly required???!!!
And you expect 400 hp out of this?
Is that J.R.’s crate engine? I can’t wait to see what J.R. does with the original Capri engine parts.

This is a RAT ROD thats been boreded,with air bag, grey interior,and fresh air vents for the big 4bbl, the factory fan and dual exhaust.lift off top??? RATS R ROLL N !!!! HOLLER!!!!!!!
Oh my gosh, what did I just buy?! It doesn’t look like the picture.
Even if this came with a life time warranty, it just expired.
Ex-goody bin

A crate o CRAP!, some media blasting required.
Wow, is that a kilo of marijuanna there??

PROJECT RAT ROD !!!!
Crate engine: An engine truely only fit for a crate
Well parts are parts! It’s a nice crate though.
Obviously my wife didn’t order it from the Eastwood Catalog.
Boy if I didn’t have Eastwood Tools, I’d really be screwed.
“Damn! I could have had a V-8”.
one mans junk is another mans treasure
Am I being Punked?
Better call Eastwood!!!!
Awsome….it came with headers!
When was my last tetanus shot?
Classic, runs good, just needs a little TLC. Hurry, this offer ends in five minutes…..
Wouldn’t you know it? They sent the wrong carb. I ordered a mechanical secondary holley. I hope I didn’t throw the receipt away…
Every time I put something back together I seem to have spare parts. Do any of these look important to you guys?
Someone “boosted” my ride!
Honey I was in a fender bender on the way home from the mall, are you mad?
They’re here, they’re here. Ut O should’ve have ordered from EASTWOOD.
Parts you need to learn how to use Eastwood products. It beats testing them out on your own car!
Looks like “croczilla” got ther first.
Mother told me there would be days like this – Now where did that Eastwood catalog go ?
Some assembly and a lot of Eastwood required!
All I need is some boards and a few wheels for my soap box racer.
Crate motor! What about an out of date motor?
Oh Boy! This is the best Christmas present I ever got.
Well I will need Two or three more Gallon juges of Eastwood Rust Dissolver to Finish this Engine and get it in runing order
Wow! I’ve never seen a small block Chevy look so good!
Shouder paid to overnite it oh well thank God for Eastwood
I ordered a crate and received a crock
Included Instructions: A Gasket set and a little duck tape, It’s as good as new!
Somebody call Marketing!! There’s enough material here for our next three catalogs!!
I think I’ll try one more time!
*sigh* “You know you need glasses when you misread the word ‘CRAP’ as ‘CRATE’…”
Wow I’m going broke saving money! I’m going to need some help from Eastwood.
Thats cool ! The way we used to get our crate motors!
The ad said….”field tested crate motor”….but,which field?
J.R you have a very bad boy! Santa
Wow! Sure glad there was a free gallon of
rust encapsulator included with purchase.
Eastwood help me find my happy place.
or
The instructions are in the crate, some settling may have occurred.
or
was the package insured
ADVERSITY = OPPORTUNITY! “I get to use Rust Converter & Rust Encapsulator,plus my new blast cabinet & Carb Renew!” exclaimed J.R.! With Eastwood there’s a product for accomplishing every monumental task professionally in your own garage!
With the chrome air cleaner and chrome valve covers, she will look good as new!! With Eastwoods help of course.
Look at that packing job. I hope it’s not damaged!
Well, at least it’s NOT the leg lamp from Christmas Story!
Wow! Custom exhaust for no extra charge!!!
Well, it does come with new rings! 😀
An underhood detaling kit is all it needs!!
or
….it was running when they crated it…
or
…Use the Force J.R., Use the Force
Eastwood Products are good. But I don’t know if we can pull this miracle off.
Well JR, today they say its all about the PATINA..And you got some!
Eastwood?!!! I’m gunna need your help!!!
s#*$ now i have to do the engine also
You can make it all look new with, Eastwood.
For when the “Retro Look” isn’t old enough.
Where’s The Block ?????
Looks like a Transformer got sick in your crate JR.
Is that a small block or a big block?
Tetanus shot sold separately!
1500 for the crate and we threw in 2 free paperweights and a boat anchor!
(\o/) Hey Curt! Is there a rust converting angel out back?
/_\
Hay sweethang your gonna have to help me find eastwood on the comuter again.
Still don’t look right Vern, have Tiny shake it up and dump’er
out again.
When they said it was for guaranteed for 200,000 miles I thought they meant it would last that many , not have that many
I dunno , it looks like it’s a little loose on the clearances to me.
Hello , is it too late to order that $29.95 crate engine upgrade we talked about?
That’s the last time I order anything from that outfit.
great,Honey grab the self help dvd’s and the cleaning kits from Eastwood I got for christmass.
Ummmm? were gonna need some more beer, and none of that cheap stuff eaither.
I hope this guy threw in some Vaseline somewhere in here!!!!
Yup. We have all we need to rescue the Apollo 13 astronauts.
Guess that 1000 hp shot of nitrous was a little too much for the dyno test!
Aw man I ordered the chrome headers
“Do you think it’s still under warranty?”
Headers $1.59
Fan Blade .89
Carb. $2.29
Crate to keep it all together………….PRICELESS!!!
At least this one comes with headers.
4bbl carb – check
‘Low Flow’ exhaust – check
Special fan for max cooling – check
Hi-perf distributor – check
Grey pillow for napping while under car – check
Flammable brown wrapping paper to start the fire which will result in hefty insurance payout – check
Awesome, Can’t wait to clean, coat, spray and protect all these parts. a little effort now equals fun for years to come!
I’ll have to get ahold of eastwood !!
” WOW!” ” This crate motor is so complete it came with a carburetor”
An eengine! It looks more like debris from the Titanic!
Thank goodness I work at The Eastwood Company!!!
A rebuild that has challenge written all over it.
Much better than the last one.
Well, it is in a crate.
wow and i thought i would have to buy a fan
Yahoo! High Perfomance Parts!!
Its a Capri – we expect rust!
Last time I order from Vintage Hot Rod and Salvage.
What did I get myself in to this time!
Very funny guys! Now where’s the real crate?
So this is what’s left from the after Christmas sale, thanks Honey.
The Zoomies were an unexpeced bonus!
But honey , They said it has less than 5000 Miles after the rebuild.
I knew I should have paid extra for the shipping insurance! At least the packing material is biodegradable.
That will buff right out
I see this is gonna require a couple of dress-up items!
“I hope there are pictured instructions”
I think they shipped it with the wrong headers!
They said some assembly required !
Man, I bet this dude is laughin all the way
to the bank.
Where’s the free toaster?
They said, One size fits all!!
do u think it will fit in the engine bay without modifications
I can fix this! I hope it is all there? They said it ran when they took it out. I wonder how long it has been out?
They forgot to tell me it came with the retro style carb and fan, plus the special nature shortened headers – craigslist rocks!!
At least there aren’t any rats!
Dang I thought for sure I orderd a Crate Motor not a Crape Motor
wow!Those e-bay pictures were a little fuzzy!
No one said some assembly was required!
HEY!!!ANYBODY GOT SOME PAINT!!! damn shipping company!
Just as it was described on Ebay, my new rat rod crate motor.
The mail is getting slower and slower these days. Maybe I can salvage the carburetor. I’m sure Eastwood has something that will do the trick.
I guess my thoughts of a like new engine cheap was a Pipe Dream come true!
See honey, I told you we needed undercoating up here in Maine.
What a BUTTE!, A Little polish here, a little touch up paint there, and these headers look like they are perfectly tuned. I can’t wait to throw a battery on it!
I’m so glad they remembered those front pipes!
What no bubble pack!
Whoa! honey, do you have the 800 number for PayPal?
what the @#*&, holy #@!^, that son of a %^$#@
Look like it only needs a TOUCH UP and VARNISH to finish.
Damn!! Wheres all the packing material at? hope nothing got scratch.
Dad,your crate engine from Sanford and Son has arrived!
In the name of the wee man what the hell is that.
NICE STURDY CRATE. I WONDER IF THE S.O.B. THAT SOLD ME THIS WILL FIT IN IT!
Hey, I paid extra for an air filter!
Hey J.R., I guess you can cross “Debris” off the project build list.
But it looked so much better on ebay.
crap!!!They said it came with a new carburator aaand look nooo can of paint.im callen em.
Well, maybe it will be OK with a .30 rebore.
It ran when I put it the crate
“At least this crate will double as a cool shop coffee table.”
Well, I guess I should have listened to dad more when he said ” Always remember to read the fine print son.” Well to late now, good thing for Eastwood, I know I don’t have to read the fine print dealing with them.
Extreme makeover-CarVersion
Man I hope the 8mm plug wires are in there like I was told or I’m sending it back, sweet……
If it doesnt say made is USA dont buy it.
Dammit ! they sent a 2000 GMC Jimmy crate engine instead of the Mustang model I ordered!
Honey!!! I need a hair pin and I need it now!!
Oscar the grouch’s dream ride!!!!
Ok great it the crate engine for my rat rod
This doesn’t look anything like it did in the picture, it looks even better.
“Son, they call this a box of opportunity. Let’s get to work.”
Well Damm. They forgot the spark plugs.
Dad, is this a Small Block or a Big BLock?
Holie rusted engine Batman! Dam it Robin, were you shopping on E-bay again!
Good thing I have my Eastwood catalog !
At least the crate is in good condition.
Looks like NOS means different things to different folks!
hahahah, I hope it just needs a oil change jr

Ready to run with minimal tuning required
SWEET!
That’ll buff out.
Hey J.R. your boat anchor’s here!
What? Where is the instruction manual?
Great they must have Thought I said – Rat Rod!
“It’s going to be a long winter.”
When i was born they slapped me on the butt. It just keeps getting worse.Where,s my Heads?
Hey, I thought you said it was gonna be fuel injected!
With a little help from Eastwood we’ll have this baby ready to show in no time!
Wow this is incredible! These parts look exactly like the original Capri parts. It’s almost as if they sent him the same exact parts he took off his own car.
Eagerly awaiting his rusty bathtub; JR’s redneck lawn ornament collection near completion.
HOLY SHIT!
Man, I hope the right crate comes to my house!
Man, this company gives new meaning to “Ready to Install!”
Oh no! My wife throw away the engine again?
Wrong part number my ass!
Should of called eastwood.
Man, there’s gotta be a pony in there somewhere!
I really never thought my $100 bid on EBay would win me such a mighty fine crate of parts !
Man… this doesn’t look any thing like the picture on the web site!
WTF?????? I had a bad feeling when I saw the crate…..Eastwood can help to refurb these parts! But what the heck are the for and the million dollar question is…..where’s my engine?
I ordered a model car for my son for Christmas and this is what got sent!
What!! Was this on the Titanic?
Man, how come Chip Foose keeps sending me his leftovers from Overhaulin’!
Oh good, he threw in the fan for free!
Good thing there is plenty of packaging, I would hate for this thing to get damaged.
This must be how the first ever crate engines came!
well the price was right,all I have to do is call Eastwood to fine tune it.
Uh Oh! Better call Pay Pal
My brother did it to me again.
Man, Fords quality control has really improved.
Holy Crap did I ever get a great deal, thanks guys
It said Ran when parked. I just didn’t know it was parked in 63.
that is not a edelbrock and hooker headers.
“Assembly is the reverse of removal.”
Wow! The downpipes are included!
My typical eBay find!
“J.R.’s barn find was a bit underwhelming…”
Wow!!! Just needs chrome
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” EASTWOOD-PRODUCTS knows this.
easily assembled with basic hand tools no experience requiered
Its my favorite shade of orange!
And this is the Good stuff!!
That’ll make the rat rod look pretty.
I should be able to have this up and running by the first spring cruise!!! ” I think “
Yup! Everything here is still made in the USA!
I should have read the fine print!
“So, this is what $3000 buys today?!”
It’s not that bad, I work for Eastwood.
Restoring is a labor of love but geez…This needs a whole lot of lovin’
What the HELL is this?
Sorry Hon, No diamond this year for Christmas!
You Think your divorce was bad
A WORK IN PROCESS!
Mcguyver Who?
I didn’t know a can of worms could be this big
I can fix it.
WOW I could’ve had a V8
When I bought the car on E-bay they said it was “all there”….
What, no mice?
The Gods must not be pleased…..
Wow, I didn’t think mooring anchors could look that bad.
paid $100.00 for a custom made crate,and they thru in a free engine.
Maybe I’ll just build a table out of the crate.
Wow…. Guess there really is somethin’ about that bad karma thing….
“Looks like I need my tetanus shot and rust remover!”
WOW! Now I have a real DIY project.
Caution
Men at work
I live for rust, iron and grease! Dead rats not so much.
I will just slap some of Eastwoods Satin Black Hi-Temp Coating on her and she will be good as new.
I knew I should have gotten the insurance.
I bet those pipes will clean-up nicely.
Not “A crate engine”, I said “A Engine in a Crate”.
“…need a little TLC…”
Dang, wanted a Winter project…not a weekender…
Nascar…..Here I come!
well, you get what you pay for when you buy a chinese budget crate engine!
One mans junk is another mans gold!
Wow…I thought the box looked bad.
Alright, whose the joker who put the junk in my custom made crate I ordered.
“Slightly used, my Ass!!!!”
Uhhhh, hmmmmm where is J.R. get him here pronto!
Great! Looks better than the pics on ebay!
Perfect!!!
It’s a chevy… so it probably runs as good as it looks!!!
Hmmmm……Where’s the air cleaner…..
It’s a chevy…so it will probably run as good as it looks!!!
Sweey-a 4bbl!!

DAME ! this isn’t the engine i brought from cousin Bob.
O Well Parts is Parts!!!!!!!!!!
i’ll get it all fixed up in no time with eastwood on my side , for now i’ll ride my camel with two comfi hump on route 66
Now if I can just remember where I put all those damn bolts……
Skil men needed
“Wow, sure looks different than it did on EBAY!”
Hmmmmm, Looks like they kept the recycle and sent the trash.
DARN IT THEY FORGOT THE GRAVY AGAIN
LOOKS LIKE ITS STIR FRY AGAIN TONIGHT.
It just needs a little bit of polish.
Hey honey,
Hop in pat the gas and hit the key.(happy anniversary)!
Basket case
Now we know only a truly “skil ed” craftsman would take on this project!! But don’t you feel better knowing you have the right tools to start with!!!!
Easy assembly my A**!!!!!!
See, Bubba? Guy said it was a 2-bbl, but this puppy’s a 4 BARREL! Dude even threw in the open-pipe headers! That’s what I call a DEAL!!
Some assembly required.
Hey, who ordered the Rust Encapsulator training kit?
Oh Yeh!! Wait ’till you see the AFTER picture!
600 HP of header busting power!
AI caramba!
I ordered a crate engine and all I got was junk in a trunk.
Bonus!!! It includes a fan.
Finally pure bred Dagenham parts, these must be the last of the NOS parts they had before they tore down the plant
“Great, The new motor for my 76 AMC ambasidor arrived from the factory today. How is it that when it’s never the parts you need, you get delivered when you need them. I’ll put it in anyway!”
The label on the box said used raceing parts , but didnt say what century.!!!
It looks like I can finally try out Eastwood’s Rust Dissolver!
“Nice fan”
OMG! What have I got myself into?
Has some cosmetic blemishes.
Some assembly required.
A Redneck could make that work!
MAN A COUPLE CANS OF PAINT AN SHE’LL BE READY TO DROP RIGHT IN!!!
“Hey Honey, the extra weight for my truckbed came in!”
Well J.R. this definitely proves the old saying “One mans trash is another mans treasure” – good luck with that.
“All original engine for a Debris Capri. Includes original exhaust and Holley Carburetor. (Almost) ready to install”
Where’s the chickens???
…was running when parked.
“Good candidate for restoration. Must see to appreciate. Need a few minor pieces”
“What the @#*%?!”
PERFECT! Now I get to test ALL the Eastwood products.
At least they included a new Eastwood catalog in the crate….
turn-key 600 hp my butt! where’s that guys phonenumber again?
Is this really a rat rod engine kit?
No better place to start than from scratch.
Cool, with a little steel wool the chrome on those pipe’s will come right back.
It’ll take half the stuff Eastwood sells to get this sucker ready to run!
well a least it was in a crate
Just a few of my favorite things.
“Looks like an old Boxer engine”.
Simple job turns into a nightmare!
damn , where is my eastwood catalog ! i need it bad !!!!!!
Life has no guarantees, junk engines don’t either. That’s why you should buy a crate engine from Eastwood. You won’t be disapointed and you get a guarantee.
A little Carb. cleaner, correct Engine and parts paint from Eastwood, and it won’t be called Project Debris-Capri but Killer-Capri…
Well…It’s not EXACTLY how the seller described it….
UUUHHHH with some tlc, and some engine building foreplae she should be as good as broken in: What do ya thinK?
I like challenges!
Yeh, just what i ordered!
Who needs a toolbox, I’ve got Duct tape!!!
Let’s hope opening the crockpot nets better results!
Where is the supercharger that was suppose to come with this?
What a HUNK of burnnniiinnngg Love.
Hey J.R., your engine is N.O.S.–O.E.M.–and D.O.A.!
Now to convince my hopefully understanding wife that iron oxide is a viable investment…
One Man’s Junk, Another Man’s Fortune!
One Man’ Junk, Another Man’s Fortune!
Guaranteed to give your postwar project car that prewar ratrod look everybody has been talking about.
looks like a “rat rod” nest, not a motor!!
Just some light maintance needed.
Well, with a little de-greaser, paint, plugs, points, wires, heads, pistons, rods, bearings, crank, cam, intake, carb, chrome, (gotta have chrome), money and maybe a miracle or two, it’ll be good as new!!!
Recycle + Eastwood + Hard Work = a potentially great find!
Well, I said I wanted my next project to be a challenge…
“well, at least we got the crate. We can always use that 20hp Kohler.”
They said it had header dumps, not dump headers!
Hmmm, I thought they said it was a “crate” engine, not a “crap” engine!
I would’ve been better off if I’d ordered a crate of eggs!!
Happiness is an empty parts can
Crap,,,,I think I need a Plan B.
Where’s my Eastwood catalog !!!!
” OH MY GOD ” CALL 1-800-help – me !
Well, good thing I got those Eastwood Gift Certificates for christmas!!
I`ve should have known $50.00 for a big block on e-bay.
well at least it’s a decent crate!!
I should have known something was wrong when the guy didn’t need a forklift to take the crate off the truck.
Awww nuts. I thought it was a V8!
WOW look at $25 antique Holley: just what I wanted for Christmas.
As with any new engine, it is important to find the correct tuneup combination for maximum performance and fuel economy!
This can’t be right…Where’s the plug wires?
I just love antique motors!!!
That must have been a Vermont (New England) engine core! Infected with Rust-itice!
Now What????
” OH MY GOD “— CALL 1-800 -HELP ME!
I finally found where I left my toothpick.
Kinda gives a new meaning to N.O.S.
“Restoration, 30 years in the making!”
Last time I order parts from China…
Damn, I knew I should have ordered from Eastwood !!
The Ad on ebay said the parts fit a MK2 Capri, not a MK1! Darn power sellers!
Uh oh… something ate my angine and then THREW UP!!!
The price was unbelievable… and I guess I got just what you I paid for!
That thing’s alot like my wife… Heavy and worn out.
“Gotta be a piston in here somewhere”
Thank you for shopping with Sanford and Son. Feel free to order from us again the next time you need more junk in your trunk.

This shipment completes your order. And, as always you can call our toll-free number for tech support.
“Hey, I paid for a NEW Carb!!”
Well looks like it came from a real rat rod. There’s droppings all over the intake.
Just what I needed to finish my street rod.
I knew I should have paid for the express shipping!
http://www.eastwood.com here I come!
Hey! Who put this thing in my packing order?
Not what I expected. But with Eastwood’s products I’ll have it looking like new.

“Wow, it is 100% original from 1964”
With a little rusteze,”and the same amount of luck,” it too can look like me, caa choww!
A fresh coat of paint and it will look good as new.
“As you can see, this Time Capsule shows what the average American man did in his spare time.”
WOW! Nice Holley & Headers TO!
KOOL!! It’s got zoomies! They didn’t tell me it came with zoomies!
Got Gunk?
Eastwood to the Rescue I love it.
The latest in superchargers, circa 1928
Well gee, should I send it back, it didn’t look like this the pictures?
“Junk?…..naw, these are relic’s!’
It’s not a total loss, I think I can use the distributor cap!

Just in time for my wife’s birthday. She will love it!
” So………This is where i put’em !
I HOPE IT HAS A RETURN LABEL..
Good Glooga Mooga!
As you can see, this Time Capsule shows what the average American man did in his spare time.
Well, i guess technically it is a”CRATE” engine, since that’s the way it was shipped.
I thought E-Bay’s price was awful cheap!
Well, i guess technically it is a”CRAGE” engine, since that’s the way it was shipped.
” TOYS IN THE ATTIC “
Holy crap! A junk yard threw up in the this crate!!!!
Does the boat need a new anchor?
Found! Crate Barn Find!
I’ll bet the instructions are in greek, too!
“I shoud have kept my 1967 Chevelle Convertable!”
Who knew that the original prototype for the small block Chevy was on the Titanic?
It looks a little aged.. I wonder if the “Roman Numerals” match!
Darn! and the instructions are not in English
Who ever said wood makes a good barrier to the elements…needs to be fired.
I thought an alternator was included !
Rebuilt in China
For the money,I thought the crate would be a little nicer!
Well, I see a tiny bit of the GOOD, a bunch of the BAD, and a whole mess of the UGLY….Enter “Eastwood” stage left!!! “Go ahead Make my day”
This is what you get when Customs re-packs that Crate engine you ordered.
or
The eBay discription read, “Carburetor With Accessories.”
As long as the block ain’t cracked……..
Holy crap Batman
“This is a show class changer…so long Resto Rod, Hello Rat Rod!”
Wait till you see the after picture… Eastwood products will make it shine like NEW!
They sure put this in a crappy crate i hope it didn’t get messed up!
I told the guy I wanted the engine for my Debris-Capris project.
He must have thought I said I wanted Capris Debris.
A little time, some eastwood products and she will be ready to roll who said dreams don’t come true.
soup sandwich f—— up
I really hate it when companies outsource their parts.
Holy Shit
Finally I have my Rat motor.
Ordered a crate motor? Major communication problem!!!!
I should have been suspicious when I ordered this from Billy Bob’s Auto Reclamation Center.
Crate engine? I said I wanted a GREAT engine!
But, Sweetheart, they all start out like this.
Let’s see, carburetor, fan, headers, pillow. Ok, honey, if you need me, I’ll be in the garage.
I hope my wife does not see this….. before my Eastwood products arrive!
Cool!, it even came with an airbag!
Did I leave my Eastwood catalog in the bathroom?
Crap! The foregot the spark plug wires.
Well if this is what I have to work with I’m going to need my boy’s at Eastwood for-sure!!.
Wow!!! How could ever ask for more?
Hey man where’s the air breather? I ordered the deluxe package
I don’t know if we have enough rust encapsulator in stock. !
Awwwsssoommee!!! Hey dudes, we got the headers too!!!!
Its the fourth member of the RAT PACK!
I wish my wife wouldn’t order off the Internet…
I BET JIMMY HOFFA IS IN THERE TOO!!
so this is what twenty bucks get me???
I’ve got to stop ordering from the Discount stores!
Well well well what have we here!
i guess i should have paid that extra freight charge
Wal-mart specifications are not what they used to be…..
O. M. G.
No, honey, I ain’t goin’ to throw that out. You just never know when you’ll need that!!
Looks like we are going to need some extra engine degreaser.
Tetnus shot not included
Hey honey I cleaned your car out for you!
AWWW MAN,They messed up and sent me the rat rod crate engine !!
Oh Wow! It looks like they gave us some of the exhaust pipes as extras.
Well at least the crate is solid enough to live in after the wife sees this.
Last time I buy from BoatAnchor.com!
I was sure I ordered ’89 GMC parts not Ford
“I haven’t been this excited since my mother-in-law moved in.”
Oh no, it looks like the fan got bent during shipping.
Honey, will you hand me that can of Simichrome Polish?
This can’t be right. They must have sent us the dumpster instead of the crate with the engine in it.
Hot damn boy’s my 502 is here !!!
I shouldn’t have told my supplier that I was building a “Retro – Rod”
AHHH, they’ll clean up just fine, now where’s that can of pre-clean at?
WHAT!?!?! No sparkplug wires!!!!
AHHH, they’ll clean up just fine. Where’s that pre-cleaner at?
Wow! That’s a bad ass engine!
Potential is in the eye of the beholder…
It’s gonna’ need a little bit of paint….
“it`s not a crate engine, it`s a crap engine”.
Let’s see, a little Rust Convertor, Rust Encapsulator, High Temp Engine Paint, Liquid Chrome, Under Hood Black, Carb Renew, Aluma Blast, Spray Gray and a Saturday Afternoon. Going to turn a big profit with this rare find. 1-800-345-1178 Hello Eastwood!
That’s it!!! from now on, its Eastwood, I’ve learned my lesson!
WHAT? I asked for an electric fan!
INSTRUCTIONS,WD40 AND DUCK TAPE INCLUDED AT NO EXTRA CHARGE.
Sweet! I thought they said the headers were shot, these are sick custom shorty’s the turndowns are already fabbed in!! This is better than Christmas!!!
This is what I get for ordering a GM crate engine when they were asking for a bailout
Thanks honey. just what I have always wanted….
Damn, dual exhaust.
Well at least they included some nice pillows to lay it to rest!
New old stock?
“Crate” my ass. More like junk heap reject.
I need a Eastwood catalog!!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN RUST PROTECTION
“AH, this should buff right out with some of our products!”
Hello Eastwood, does rust encapsulator come in drums?
New redneck engine,will trade!
Didn’t look like that in the Dollar Store picture!
The Crate White Hope(less)!
It says right here handle with care. The shipping company has some explaining to due. There is a scratch in the paint I am gonna have to fix now.
At the end of the Rainbow there is a pot of GOLD
Some assembly required…
“I told you not to forget the ‘This End Up’ sign!”
oh boy, turn key ready.
Just have to swap out that fan for an electric unit and I’ll be good to go!
WOW. Didn’t look like that in the picture!
Hey! I knew I shoulda indicated my color choice.
Dude, I can fix that, my dads got tools!
Sure glad my parts arrived now I can finish my scrap rod
Looking over at my buddy, I said ” Hey Bob, YOUR stuff is here!!”
eyes wide with a gasp! you’ve got to be kidding!!
The ad did say some assembly required…..Better call Eastwood!
Ran when I parked it.
Honey, I’ll have the Capri finished by the end of the week.
Thought of naming my kid “Patina”….on second thought, after seeing this, I don’t want to spend a lifetime being asked “Why?”
Well, see if it turns over?
Oh Hell No! Where’s my phone???!!!
This crate “fell” off the back of a truck that was heading to a secret government warehouse. I can’t wait to see what magical powers it contains. Maybe the carb is one of those 100 mpg ones?
Call Eastwood we are going to need some products stat!
RUST NEVER SLEEPS,EVEN IN A CRATE!!
Looks like Ebay strikes again!
Cool, not only did the crate motor arrive, looks like the interior arrived too. Seat cushion, covers, headliner.
I knew I should not have ordered from Morgue Warner Auto Parts.
It’s a good thing I belong to the Eastwood Buyers Club.
The parts received were not exactly as described on the auction web site.
thought this came assembled!
Hmm… They never look like this on TV??
Oooweeee. I love those guys at Redneck SpeedShop and Bolt-ons.
Wrong specs. again
“Did I fat finger that CRATE motor and typed CRAPE motor instead??? Spell check nevers works for me.
“For PROJECT DEBRIS-CAPRI, I can fix anything except a BROKEN HEART!!”
Where did I put my Eastwood catalog? This is starting to look like a bigger project than I thought it would be, but what a great start.
“Something old, nothing new but nothing that I can’t get from Eastwood to re-do!”
“It’s not the parts I am worried about, it’s my lunch in one of the bags”
I think they forgot the anti polution control equiment!!!
“All the kings horses and all the kings men, couldn’t put the creat engine back together again”
These things never come with the gaskets!!!!!
yippieeeeee!this is perfect.
Hey Martha, The slightly used classic engine finally got here from that nice man in Alabama.
“What’s left after going over the MINE”
Holly S@#T now what!
“Now thats called JUNK IN THE TRUNK”
“Wait till I show you the photo of the car it’s going into”
You have got to be kidding me, right? Where is this persons’ phone number? We need to talk right now!!!!!!!!!!!!
holly crap, I should have order it from FORD MOTOR COMPANY, at least it would be ready to run not ready to go to the scrap yard
Whoooooeeeee J.R., dey shipped it wit a Four Barrel an Dual Exhaust at no extre charge!!
Wow! Is it a compost car?
One mans trash is another mans treasure, “with lots of help from Eastwood”.
they said twas just reblt bfor tha flood
kinda hard to keep the excitment up
It’ll probably need a tune up but I think I can have it in and running this weekend.
This must be one of the those fancy motors that runs on 1/2 the cylinders sometimes to save gas.
I just know there is an engine in there somewhere,all I gotta do is find it!
I’m glad they packed it so well. The wood was protected so now I can make a coffee table from it. But what to do with the rest of it?
All right! I thought they said it was pretty rusty.
This redefines what a PROJECT car is!!
They said it was running when it was parked !
This is what I call a challenge!
This aint an engine it’s a boat anchor! I guess now I need a boat…
Eastwood a name you can trust
Finally!! A engine With enough left I can do something with.And just wait till my wife see’s what I bought.
Well guess ya get what ya pay for
How do I get er done if a an’t got no instructions?
This what I call a challenge.
I guess you really do get what you pay for!
I thought I bought a crate motor not a “crap” motor
SWEET!!! Lets get rolling!!
Im glad I bought the deluxe model
Fra-gee-lay….it must be Italian! Look honey my major award finally showed up.
Holey rust box!!! Who’s dirt floor barn did this thing come out of?
Looks like it’s Eastwood restoration time

HEY! THEY RETURNED THE PARTS I SENT BACK UNDER WARRANTY!
As soon as I throw it away, I’ll need it!
WOW!, I could’ve had a V-8….
I should have read the fineprint like my wife had told me to which says “SOME assembly required.”
Oh No, I thought I ordered the engine with the “dress” package. Honey, Where’s the receipt?
Uhhh!!… Houston… We have a problem.
“OH!!! CCCRATE!!! an engine”
Well, a little PB blaster, a little paint, it will be just fine.
….let see, all I need…
-wrenches

Oh yeah, EASTWOOD !
i will never buy off ebay again with out seeing a picture first

“Guess I should have asked what was meant by Natural Patina”

The pipes and the fan are trash, but the Holley looks somewhat OK!
There’s nothin’ like a challange. Can’t wait to get started!
They told me it was a perfect match for my rat rod
HOLY SCHIZZMITTS BATMAN!! This stuff looks like it’s been in the Bat Cave for a Long Time. Eastwood is gonna love us!!!
Well it looks lke a engine in a crate
Did it say new?
Hard times hits crate engine industry!
What can I make with the crate?
I didn’t have trouble with the bike for Christmas. How hard can this be?

Holy Rust Bucket Batman!
Cool! He threw in the headers too!
My beloved jewel in the rough! Come to papa!!

US Postal Service overnight delivery
Redneck Dictionary
Crate Motor: example…

Be careful what you order, you just might get it.
I ordered a crate engine not a crap engine!
“It’ll buff out.”
What the Hell did you do to piss that guy off?!!
I guess he said: What the heck…!!!! Looks like the General Motors saving plan!
“Some assembly required……OH NO!”
You guys said the exhaust pipes were stainless!
Hmmmm…I guess this one was in the warehouse just a wee bit too long!
HOLY SCRAP CRAP , Bat man . This is a job for Eastwood …
HOLY SCRAPE CRAP , Bat man . This s a job for Eastwood …
Barn find – needs work!
I hope he didnt go over budget!
Frame-off Resto of my favorite wooden box. We decided to drop in the original motor after a rebuild, but eventually we’ll be equipping this beauty with an LS1.
Well this is not a boat accident! It wasn’t any propeller! It wasn’t any coral reef! And it wasn’t Jack the Ripper! It was a shark.
WANT NOT WASTE NOT, SAVE FOREGIN JOBS.
NEVER buy a crate engine from Iraq!!!
One SKIL set required; real men don’t need to read instructions

This seller must be dyslexic. I ordered a good old crate engine. He sent me an old engine in a good crate!

Hey J. R.! You wanted the PERFECT motor to fit the Capri?
You need to be more careful about what you wish for!
Now I’ve got the anchor, all I need is the boat
ALRIGHT!! The numbers matching “Hurricane Cartrina Edition” crate motor kit for my rat rod is finally here!
The ‘crate’ should restore up nicely. Not too hopeful about the engine though.
Call McGyver…Now!
Great my new parts have arrived
Hmm, I thought the OEM engine color was a glossier black – at least the numbers match.
With Eastwood even a caveman can do it.
Well the add did say it’s “A real
rat motor in a crate, dirt cheap!”
WoW ! I’ll be better off selling the junk and restore the crate !
Daddy Toy’s, grabe a beer.
This is definitely a highly SKIL’d do it yourself kit.
Thought I ordered a 4 barrel carburetor !
It’s a fixer-upper!
I was correct! The dictionary has two seperate definitions for Crate and Dumpster…I guess the seller didn’t have a dictionary.
WOW!! I bet somebody payed J.R. to take this crate full of crap!
Dang they sent the Vega engine instead!
Trash Compactor scene in Star Wars comes to mind…. I got a bad feeling about this… now where’s that snake creature, I mean engine?
I new I shouldn’t have paid by check!
Hey, anyone need a boat anchor?
Time for a Eastwood Blast party

Well I know what I’ll be doing this winter
My submission for the caption is:
“Turkey crate engine, I thought it was a Turnkey crate engine!”
does it come with squirrels…or do we have to add our own????
“Where’s The Beef”
glad we have all the right tools at Eastwood for this !
Gosh Darn this will be just great for my Hoopty.
“Crate engine?”…junk it and cash it in for a happy meal
Damn, I forgot to read the smallprint, this is a “Project Crate Engine” and some “assembly/additional parts” may be required.
You didn’t really pay cash for this! Did you?
Man, what a find! The oldest crate motor in existence!
Holley crap
The first “airbagged” motor.
“WELL I TELL YA BOY, ALL THIS HERE NEEDS IS SOME PLUGS AND POINTS AND IT’LL PURR LIKE A KITTEN, AND, NOW PAY ATTENTION HERE BOY, I’LL KNOCK OFF $50.00 CAUSE YOU LOOK LIKE A NICE YOUNG MAN”!
A few more drinks,and she’ll look like new! Set em up again Joe!
Pre then Powder, Pre then Paint, Pre then Powder, Pre then Paint, anyone else!

Hey Honey, what’s the limit on the credit card? Looks like I may need more than a few of Eastwoods’ products for this clean-up job!

Hey JR it says some assembly required and the instructions are on the bottom of crate.
Would you look at that, I ordered a crate motor and got the whole damn car.

“Whoo, Let’s go dumpster diving”
Where’s the packing slip? I want to make sure they shipped everything.
My two submissions:
1. “Holy cow, somebody out there really knows their Capri debris!”
2. “Maybe that guy didn’t hear me correctly? I told him I wanted a Capri engine, not a Debris engine!”
Thanks, Jeff
what the #”” is this, It sure is not what I ordered
Tnis crate needs the date.
OMG! JR is going to be the “DEBRIS” when his wife see’s this!
Good thing that I bought Eastwood’s free shipping
Well, I guess it did say “some assembly required”.
Don’t worry Vern Eastwood is 100 % returnable. Hey they pay shipping.
I’ll use a different freight company next time. I ordered this engine over 10 years ago.
This was the cheapest that I could find at yard sale.
Well that is a crate full of debris
Just needs paint
I’m not worried. Eastwood has what it takes to make it look better than ever!
What is all this crap???
And my wife says that I am not organized
Two words…EPIC FAIL!
OH YEA MORE RAT ROD PARTS
Holy rust-ole, Batman!
Debris-Crapri!
What a mess!
Honey,
It’s just gonna cost a little bit more than we discussed. Oh and I’m gonna need to order just a few more items from Eastwood. I love you baby…
Looks like the packer did this with his eyes close.
OH BABY oh baby, were going to need some fat rubber on the ground to tame this beast……

Brand new, 1912 Roll Royce engine – $80.50
High tech newfangled carburetor – $12.50
Dual exhaust – $9.75
High flow cooling fan – $1.25
Expedited Shipping on RMS Titanic – WORTHLESS
I will need some POR for this POS!!!
Helloooo Eastwood!
Where’s the muffler
Where the muffler
Wow, this needs help! Might have to get out the Eastwood catalog for this one.
Look at what great shape the crate is in !!
Son, I told you. The packing will make the box stronger.
We need to find more boxes. I think we are missing parts.
must be a classic.
Well, it’s a box…with an engine?!
Whew!!! Looks like its going to take a little long than I thought.
I CHOSE ”THE TWILIGHT ZONE ” FOR THE CAPTION
Hey J.R….call them fellas from the American Pickers show, maybe they can help get a return on your money!
Holy crap!… Seriuosly, it’s a box of holey crap!
Hello UPS I believe there was a mix up !!!!!!!!!!
Guess it was shipped out of Salt Lake City!
Saweeeet! It’s got a Holley!
What? No air cleaner?
”TWILITE ZONE”
Guess I should have paid for the express shipping!
Looks Great! But do the “Roman Numerals” Match????
Well finally it only took 25 yr. to get my new motor
Huh. That doesn’t look anything like the picture in the catalog.
Where’s the block? It must be the rust dust at the bottom!
I’m gonna spend a FORTUNE in encapsulator…good thing I’m a shareholder!
I’m tell’in ya – they said it ran on e-bay……
I ordered a “CRATE” engine ….not the “create an engine” package
Boy they really must have misunderstood what I wanted??? Oh well No problemo. They assumed I would just work miracles with all my awesome products. No biggie….let me get started.
WHAT THE TIME CAPSULE GOT FLOODED
Six weeks on barge from . . . CHINA!
Wow, it looked different in the picture!
Well they said a little Paint and elbow grease needed in ad ?
OH WOW! I guess “crate engine” means something different out in the bayous!
Saaweet!!! It even comes with dual exhaust!
Piece of Cake!
Good thing plenty of packing material was used… Do need anything getting damaged in their
N.O.S.
Rat Motor? There is only a mouse in here!
Fooey! Things were going so well. Now they’re back to normal
Good thing I just got my new Eastwoods catalog…
Honey before you get to mad, wait until you see the car that goes with the box.
What?!? I was expecting mechanical secondaries!
I guest this one didn’t pass the Dino test…we need a replacement!!
Yup, its a rat-crate for a rat-capri.
Honey before you get to mad, until you see the car that goes with the box.
OK IT’s A WORK IN PROGRESS
They did such a great job of packing! Better be sure to give them an excellent review!
Some assembly may be required!
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure!
More Debris for the Capri!
Where is my Eastwood catalog?
Flintstone Performance, Huh??
Some people pay big for patina like this!
It needs some work!
Oh hell,they didn’t send the intake manifold.
Hey you think they would have painted itor even put a little powder coating on it.
They Said it was coming from China #### But How Long Was it on the Boat !!!!!!!!
‘Oh well. Lots of potential. A little blasting, rust treament, priming and painting and it will be BETTER than new!
Reverse engeneering
Hmmm…wonder if the assemble directions are in there somewhere.
I bet that is Macgyver’s jeep tool box from the back of his Jeep.
They said it was a salty deal!
A little rust remover, some engine de-greaser and a touch of liquid fire a she’ll be good to go!
Where’s the oil pan!?
JR wondered how the bags of cocaine had got past the sniffer dogs….
Finally Uncle Albert’s O.E.M. parts have arrived so he can finish assembling his 58 Edsel.
Sure hope this came with instructions!
Vintage, new in box, never used, some assembly may be required.
SKILL TOOLS Getting the job done!
LOOK, Its already been broke in, an it dont smoke!!
I have a dream, and with Eastwoods products this engine will lok great!
I’m so glad they oil coated all the parts… Real open headers, mouse droppings, and a free non flex fan? SWEET DEAL!!!
Holy crap!! They sent me garbage!
“Dang Ebay Scammers snookered me again.”
cratecrap
maybe some Eastwood rust treatment ???
Yeah, it’s a hemi.
Well, I’ll tell you what. I’ll let the whole bunch go for $200 cash money and you can keep the box!
what the *%#! is this!!!
What, have you not heard of the newest “patina” finish on your crate motor?
NOS.
Where are the collectors for those headers?
Oh!they were new many centries ago,Eastwood can refine them.
Oh! So I had to pay extra for open headers, and they forget to send me my chrome air cleaner!
Diamond in the rough.
WHAT THE ……………….????
Great! This should help to get my superbird in Barrett-Jackson!
COOL! Extra parts.
Sweet! The old school rat rod engine kit in a box showed up!
Mechanically Declined!
Just need to call Eastwood for some paint!
It doesn’t look as shiny as it did on ebay…
Uhhhhhh but the ad said “Old woody ,small block chevy,old school Accel dist., Holley 600 , Edelbrock intake , chrome shorty headers , custom air bags , too much to list , just needs to be cleaned up.”
YOU DID WHAT !!!!
Additional Parts may be required
We can rebuild it, we have the technology along with some help from Eastwood.
See, I told you my Eastwood tools would come in handy.
Dang it, they didn’t put enough bubble wrap and styrofoam peanuts to protect my headers and fan.
Oh! but they were good as new too many centries ago,maybe we can fine something with Eastwood to refine them.
Honey this is a old one —the new one on the way
Undo yourself…
Oh God…Please Eastwood guys, I need a piece of Rust Solution for these state-of-the-art garbage!!
Sure, I can fix it.
oh… that’s what they meant by some assembly required…
It needs a little work.
Funny, this does not look like a compost box to me!
G-D DAMN FINE PRINT!!!!!!!!!!!
i said i wanted old school but this ridiculous!!
This is going to cost more than I thought!
Wahoo! An upgrade for the 305.
hey! I ordered a Chevy dammit, not a Ford
Brings new meaning to a crate engine.
I passed up a new Camaro SS for this? Oh God what did I do? 😮
Good thing I have my Eastwood Tools!!! Now to make this motor Cherry!!!
Ok I can work with this!
When they say “turnkey” I had no idea that they even include the exhaust system!!
Wow!!! They even installed the distributor for me! That, my friends is service!
“WOW!, Just look at those pipes…and a four barrel too!!”
Great!- Few parts- easy assembly- I just need to know how to set the timing for this engine; Historic or Pre-Historic?
We Crate it. You Re-Create it!!!
Was this another surviving piece of lost FedX from that Tom Hanks movie, “Castaway”?
@#$%, wheres that written description at?
Hey! Where’s the air cleaner?????????
Better Off Buried???
Y’all want this? If not, I’m fixing to scrap it!
The fan looks nice and straight.
Better Off Buried
thank god for eastwood!!!!!!!!!!
“Geez….I thought I was getting a Capris motor not one for a freeking Pinto”
Some of that carb paint from Eastwood will make that look perfect.
At least it all looks original.
EASTWOOD, We have a problem!
Some fresh oil and new plugs- it’ll fire right up.
I don’t even think EASTWOOD can pull a Rabbit out of the hat with this one.
But honey, it was a great deal!
They said the crate engine was “Complete”……….carburator to headers!!
Holy Scrap Metal Batman…better get a hold of Eastwood!!!
DAM IT JIM! We don’t have enough lithumn crystals to power the transporter…..but i’ll try
Not a problem…just wait to you see the “after” photo with help from my Eastwood friends!
“I fall to pieces, each time I see you again”
Wow! This is even better than the picture in the catalog!
What ?? They sent my old one back!
Dag nabbit! They sent me the early version Hemi by mistake?
Are you kidding me? Fugedaboudit!
Hmmm…I can fix that!
Great,finally here.Now where’s the mounting hardware?
Ain’t she beautiful?
Where’s the packing slip, I hope everything is there!
The man told me it was a little rusty but he did not say it came from the bottom of the Mississippi River.
Needs TLC
I told you we should have ordered from Eastwood!
The Crate says ages 8 and up, yeah right!!!!!!!!
Who said you can’t polish a turd!!
I ORDERED A FORD AND DANGIT THEY SENT ME A DODGE INSTEAD
“Aahh, no biggie. That’ll rub right out.”
” Great ,” Now I can use my own HEADS . YESSSSSS
The buyer had specified “CRATE ENGINE” for Sale!
Don’t laugh guys! I know you guys think i’m Mad as a Hatter. But I, ,J.R., using this engine and my devious intellect, have concocted an EVIL CONVOLUTED PLAN TO AQUIRE THOUSANDS OF EASTWOOD RESTORATION PRODUCTS AND RULE THE RESTORATION WORLD!!!! Hah Ha Ha Ha!!! Hah Ha Ha Ha Ha!!! Hah Ha Ha! Ooops,ahem. Crap, did i actually say that aloud?
Everyone knows that ACME makes the best crate engine in the universe.
THIS IS THE LAST TIME I WILL BE SENDING MY CRATE ENGINES TO
” CHOP,CUT, REBUILD ” FOR OVERHAUL.
They just don’t make them like they use to.
Looks like I’ll be busy. Better call Eastwood and order some
Rust Encapsulator and engine paint.
With the alarm system on and armed I can stop worrying and finally rest easy.
WHEN I SAID RAT ROD I DID NOT MEAN THE GUY WHO SOLD IT TO ME!
Another day with Stacy David”s Gearz
Ran when parked.

What the Hell ?
I said “crate engine” not “old engine from a crate!”
Ya Might Be a Redneck If:………
What the …
I didn’t know it was being shipped via the Titanic.
Looks like they sent back Uncle Franks lawn mower motor.
FOR SALE!!! One crate engine. Assembly required.
wow.wonder what the cheaper version looked like.
Dang, I knew I should’a paid the extra bucks & got the better one.
Hey Eastwood I am going to need alot of HELP!!!!
“Honey, did we get a redneck return?” “No, then better call Eastwood…… I am gonna need a lot of rust dissolver!”
” I can see it already!”
When I started my car’s restoration in 1984 these were all new in the box, now the kids are off to college I can finnaly finish what I started. This is why we should all have a build date and stick to it.
Crate Engine? Looks more like a Crap Engine.
Did someone hit a deer!!
It could use a little paint!

One mans trash is another mans treasure…

Gold mine! A little Metal Wash and I’ll triple my money.
“Acme Rat Engine”
Shucks! I thought this was supposed to be a fuel injected motor!
Sorry, J.R. I guess your treasure is in Heaven.
Yo momma is so stupid she bought this.
Not as expected… that’s why I keep Eastwood on speed dial.
Wholly Cow!!!!! Where’s the engine I ordered!!!!
what the #@*!. One mans garbage is another mans gold or RUST.
Hey, help me get this out. There has to be a pony here somewhere.
No Way, I wanted an electric water pump.
We are pleased to inform you that we have located your package that was lost in the mail — in 1959!
Well, it is an an engine, and it did come in a crate —
Looks like I’ll have to make my own Engine Mounts.
Looks bad,but Eastwood products can repair anything,even putting back on the cover.
At least they packed it real good.
“J.R.’s felt the sting of disappointment when he removed the last nail on the crate’s lid. ‘The ad clearly stated that the air cleaner was included’, he exclaimed.”
More fun than a box of Rocks…
How did I rate this pile of junk!!!!
Damn it I told Mclaren I wanted fuel injection not a 4 BBL. !!!!
Honey, I just bought this camaro for hardly nothing just look at all of the great parts that came with it.
I thought 302 was cubic inches NOT PIECES !!!!
what no muddobbers? i specifically said muddobbers.
Did you order the crate engine or the dumpster engine?
I ordered Chevy motor not a Ford.
Honey?! I need to supersize that order from “Eastwood”.
AWSOME!…it’s already broke in!
What do they want me to do with this, send it to Pittsburgh for recycling?
“I thought I ordered the HEMI. . .”
Doesn’t look like much now, but with Eastwood Detailing Paint, some chrome and a lot of TLC and she’ll really be something!
It’ll buff out!
“I can fix that”!
It’s not that bad, we can make it run and look good too
Wait just a minute. This isn’t what I paid for! They forgot the gaskit kit…
rare, never seen before artifacts from the Titanic
You just can’t believe this deal
Ah there she is Aint she pretty
This is EASTWOOD, we can rebuild it.
that’s all that’s left of the woody wagon?
It’s a good thing you work here at Eastwood J.R.
spare parts, left over on every job
” One mans trash is another mans treasure “
It was a good deal, right.
Wheres the hi-nickel 4bolt block ????
Well, looks the they screwed up and sent me some Toyota parts again!!!
“He said it ran fine when he put it in storage”
Dang it, where is the air filter they said it came with?
Honey!!!
Where’s my Eastwood Catalog?
We’re gonna need a few more things.
Ahh shoot! I said I needed a fords engine, not a chevy!
Like Alan Jackson said J.R. Must definatley be crazy for a mercury.
rare,never seen before artifact from the titanic
“I’m just an old chunk ‘o coal, but I’m gonna be a diamond someday!”
This is the last time I order “Standard” shipping on my parts.
It looks like all the muffler needle bearings need to be replaced,I hope Ford still makes them.
Well look son back in the day we had to do a little prep!!!
One mans junk is still junk!!!
They didn’t tell me, “Some Assembly Required”!!!
Oh baby,How am I gonna Dyno this?
vintage! need i say more?
Its not dead it just smells funny
what a pile of crap
A little rust converter… good as new!
My caption would read : ” MAN!!! I KNEW I SHOULDA SPRUNG FOR
THE DELUXE KIT!!!!!!!
Thank Goodness Eastwood has everything I need to make this a show stopper!
I told you not to get that crate motor from craigslist from out of town.
Great, all you need is some elbow grease, an eastwood gift card, and a wife with more patience then mine!
My wish came true Ha Ha
I think if I sell the crate it will pay for the engine.
“It was supposed to come with plug wires.”
“some settling of contents may occur during shipping”.
One mans junk………
BETTER NOT SHOW THE WIFE
Oh Man Its got a quadra jet

“A TRUE AMERICAN PICKER FIND”
One more payment and it’s all mine…

Maybe you are lucky and came this engine out of a “non smoker” car.
HEY! Where the heck is the chrome air cleaner?
now that’s a crate motor, boys!!!!!
You get what you pay for…
I order a rat rod motor— not a rat house,,,,
HONEY,,,CANCEL THE BOAT ORDER,, I HAVE DECIDED TO CALL EASTWOOD, I CHANGED MY MIND USING IT FOR AN ANCHOR…..
Let the fun begin
Look’s like a box of garbage!!!
They even threw in cut outs and seat cushions….
Somebody sure screwed up. I only ordered a short block. They shipped me a complete crate engine!
NOW THATS WHAT I CALL A RAT ROD MOTOR FROM BACK IN ITS DAY. MUST READ INSTRUCTIONS.
Oh sweet Jesus! Look at my new engine.
Why did they pack it so well? To protect the crate.
Don’t worry Honey , it will look real nice once I get the other box of stuff from Eastwood.
Heck just a little paint, some fresh oil & gas, some tuning and well “She’s a runner” !!
Well….. I wonder when the rest of it will be here?
Some assembly required isn’t close to being enough.
Man, was there a money back guarantee?
“Holy Cow Batman” Somebody stole the the Batmobile engine and left a Boat anchor!
hurry boy’s were a lap down
Them dummys at Runnin’ Injuns’ sent me a slant 6 and I ordered a Ford 302 HO! It’ll do, they sent the starter and chryslers drive the first 5 minutes on the starter and it only takes 4 to get to the steak and shake down the road! We won’t even need gas!
Oh! This is the boat anchor I ordered I wonder when my crate engine is coming?
I Should Have Called Eastwood.
looks like i’ll have to change the name to debri crapi!
The tag said, inspected by #27 Debbie
Cool! They didn’t say it had a Holley!
Now That’s a Hemmi(rhoid)waiting to happen!
Wow now looky there! thats what I call real OEM engine parts
JR’s Crappy engine just arrived
them damn craigslist scammers!!!
I didn’t realize ‘rust free’ meant you got the rust free with the parts
I thought the ad said “Turn key”???
This engine must be at the bottom of the engine chain.
And I paid HOW MUCH extra for “Professional Packing and Crating”? I got ripped off!
WoW i love this brand new 2011 mustang v6 engine
Oh man!!! Holley carburetor, zoomie header, straight fan! Wait….. wheres my oil bath breather?!?
If I had known it was going to take this long to get here I would have paided the fee to have it over nighted here
That’ll buff right out!
“THOSE BRIGGS ‘N STRATTON’S SURE CAN MUTATE”
“CALL THE PLUMBER, THE TOILET’S STOPPED UP AGAIN”
“AND I WAS SCARED OF M.R.S.A.”
“INSTRUCTIONS SAY QUICK AND EASY ASSEMBLY”
“THIS MUST BE FOR THE FORD-LOVER NEXT DOOR AGAIN”
“WHY DID THEY LEAVE THIS ON MY DOORSTEP? THANK THE LORD THERE’S ONLY ONE”
“I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING A REBATE CHECK THIS YEAR”
“LOOKS A LITTLE LIKE UNCLE CHARLEY”
“THEY’LL HAVE TO HAVE A DNA MATCH TO PROVE IT’S MINE”
Wow nice, a little Eastwood paint an it will be a keeper.
Well, looks like they finally outsourced the shipping department
Iwas looking for restoration parts but you have to be kidding
hey, i didnt order the chinese moter
This one is going to take awaile, we can always burn the paper and wood to keep warm.
OOOPS!
Some asembly required…
Awesome, this rat rod motor already has patina. Scratch that task off the list
Well…at least they took time to surround everything with packaging to protect from being scratched!
Well it did say it was an open box item!
I sure am glad I bought that extended warranty!
I wish I had a V8.
OK now, who hired Fred Sanford in shipping/receiving?
Look!!! they threw in the headers..
Is this a rustang engine.
Oh great, they forgot the spark plug wires.
This may take a little longer then we planned!
Minor refinishing required
Whatta ya mean you cleaning out my closet? I was gonna put that stuff on E-Bay soon.
Paisano
Itold him more than once you get what you pay for !!!!

CheapParts.WHAT![ I love scrap ] bumper sticker with every order!

Five gallons of gas, a match, and a tire, and that engine will burn rubber!
Is this Fords better idea !
holy crap !!!i am glad eastwood and there products are avalible or i would of been really worried!!!
I think this is at the bottom of the engine chain.
Well at least it came packed well
low miles my a__
If I had known it was going to look like this, I would have gone the Rat Rod route.
I must have accidentally clicked on the Beverly Hillbillies replica engine package
This would be a great motor for my mother-in-laws car
Is this supposed to be a ________ Ol’ Rebuilt Dodge?
Ford crate engine, better than what I expected.
Well……….This is iron-ic.
Hey! I’m GOOD! But I’m no “Miracle-Worker” !?!?!?
W.T.F. This must be for another John Robinson.
Is this a rustang crate engine?
Hey Uncle Jed, my new truck motor is here!
Turn your “Stack O’ Debris” to “A Tight Capri” with Eastwood!!!
Wow now I can finally finish my rat rod!!!!!
“What!!?? Where’s my two cans of Eastwood Rust Encapsulator that I ordered!!!??
this is why ford didn’t need a bailout, they fall apart as fast as they are put together
If and when some one gets that engine it tacked it will run like it has nver ran before because it is taking a well needed nap It has it’s faorite pillow and blaket on the side.
Wow I can finally finish my rat rod!!!!!
Honey! Look what I bought!
FOR SALE: Rare Find – 1968 crate engine, never used, complete engine, exhaust included. Engine pre-destressed for that classic car look. Best offer or will trade for a new shovel. Call BR-549
Where does the rust end,and the engine begin?
trophies from when you could actually work on your own car
You don’t always get what you pay for unless you’re buying from Eastwood.
Come on,the impossible we can do,miracles takes a little longer.
When the government took over GM I figured they would cut corners, but this is rediculous!
How considerate; Trash bags included for easy disposal!
WOW. sure hope this come to the wrong address.
Make your Engine Clean, Mean and Pristine with Eastwood!
Wow My rat rod is going to be the talk of the town!
prop won’t use ” obama motors(gm) had some serious cutbacks this year!
Crate Engine? WTH? Looks like the coffin Jesse James wasput in!
Stage 3 Full Race Engine, Redneck Motors, LLC
J.R. it’s good you ordered the premium model, I’d hate to see what the standard model looks like.
soda blasting. rust solutions and specialty coatings will not help this motor.my mother told me that there would be days like these
OK. Where’s the cameras? I know I’m being “punked”!
Really honey…I said thrash not trash!
“I should have never gotten rid of my 1967 Chevelle Convertable”, or wait that is what you say every morning when you wake up. As far as the crate engine response- “Now all of those lubricants from CRC will come in handy that I have in my garage.”
Hi JR & everyone at Eastwood, Justin & Alicia Howard
Gadzooks!!
Hmmmm…must be one of those new fangled hybrids.
Boy! I hope it looks better on the inside??
This one came in under budget !
“Oh Oh, better call Eastwood!”
Sweeeeeet!!!! It’s even got factory headers! Pass the encapsulator!!
Oh great! They sent the first Chinese-made ‘GM Perfomance’ crate motor.
Hey! Somebody found my boat anchor that I lost!!!! I can use this crate for a new dog house…….
The ad said “fresh rebuild”, guess they were talking about the crate!
maybe we can use some eastwood paint to hide the rust then resale it quick
Man I shoud have ordered more rust converter!!!
Not as bad as I thought, she’ll be running in a few hours!
“Lucy, you got some ‘splaining to do!”
And I thought UPS was slow!
Can’t wait to get to the bottom of the box.
If I had wanted garbage, I would have gone to the city dump!
they said that it was just used buy an old lady on sundays . lol
Wow! This is Great! It wasn’t damaged in shipping!
WHAT THE F@#&,They must have the wrong John Robinson.
We have the technology we can rebuild it, better than it was.
with our products we will have it running in no time
(JR) It’ll never work, were all doomed.
(wifey) Sure it will honey here’s your Eastwood catalog.
i should of paid the extra for shipping insurance
Oh man! I hope this mess came with a satisfaction guarantee!!!!
Back up, I think I saw something move.
Hope this thing comes with instructions!!
Shipping date was 1/1/11? Must have been 1/1/1911.
So this is what they meant by “Sold AS IS”
NEVER trust a non rated seller on e-bay
Uh…………………check the address label. I think someone made a BIG mistake.
I BETTER CLEAN THE BEDROOM BEFORE THE WIFE GETS HOME.
The sale ad said “Engine ran great when removed, just neeeds a little TLC”
This is going to take an extra weekend.
Call the wives boys, looks like it going to be a long night.
Junk – No no longer in my trunk
You are going to throw that out?
Maybe I should have gotten the chrome paackage
Junk – No longer in my Trunk
That’ll buff right out.
OUCH!
Wow, what a waste of horsepower!”
Hey! The ad said “Crate Engine,” not “Basket Case Engine!”
Hmmm. Not as bad as my 1st crate engine. With a little Eastwood and a lot of work, I’ll be crusin in no time.
Holy Crap, Are those Chrome Headers ??
Hey! The ad said “crate engine,” not “basket case engine!”
beware of crate-motors from “Crusty Rusty Abscessed Terminal Engines-Moldy Old Tired Orignal Racing Salvage”
I ordered a Chevy and they sent a Ford Even Eastwood going to have problems with this one
“J.R. this isn’t You’re crate motor, this must be the one Our Founder Curt Strohacker ordered in 1978 that the Shipper lost”….”Wonder where They finally found it, certainly wasn’t someplace clean and moisture free”
“Great going J.R. well at least we got something to blog about now, maybe even run a contest about it.”
that’s what I GET FOR ORDERING FROM OVERSEAS
Score! Looks better than the picture on craigslist!
OH BOY!! Just need a few things shipped overnight from Eastwood and I will have this thing running in no time!!
Wow, it came complete with an exhaust system.
A new set of belts and it,s good to go.
Man, am I sure glad I work for Eastwood.
Man, this is gonna cost me a fortune at Eastwood!!
retired singers dream—-“a fan of old pipes” Give me some parts to build a dream from and my imagination will feed my hungry heart
“Yeah, I know it’s not concours. I *told* you guys this was gonna be a RUSTO-mod!”
“Crap Shot”…….sorry
WOW–at least I can reuse the crate.
Good start on a rat rod!!!!!
Like New, needs some TLC
“Way cool, it’s the same color as my hot rod- Early American Trusty-Rusty”
Buying your first crate motor…$5000 Your first crate motor being shipped to your house…$100 The look on your face when you open the crate and see this… Priceless!
I kinda wondered about that “REALLY short block” version.
eastwood’s dont fail me now!
What old crate do you want it in?
I’m sure I said the radiator fan was supposed to be powder coated!
What a deal this why i like ebay they always have quality crap.
While prospecting for gold, I keep finding crap. I need to try a different river.
uh oh……..um……..well make something out of it
Looks like I’ll need a lot of EASTWOOD stuff !!!
Not the best looking engine, but with some assembly and eastwood products it will be a show winner.
Hey Honey come look, the engine for the “Rat Rod” is here.
It has been lost in shipping for years!
I hope the Warranty card is in here somewhere?!
“Hum, It might take a little bit more then just Skil to get it going”
But the ad on E-Bay said “pristine condition”!
Wow… They didn’t even charge me for the headers!
i SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER WHEN THE SELLER’S NAME WAS “TED NESS”!
Yep, I can bolt that right in.
This is not what I ordered !!!!
Damn good, some paper and dry wood for the fireplace…
Mama always said life is like a box of engine parts.
This really is an original “Debris” engine!
I’ve heard of dry-rot, but this is ridiculous!
Got it made, with Eastoods,soda blasting,rust solusions,special coatings,paints and metal fabrication,and elbow grase I will have this pars looking like new,and with the Box I’L store all my
Eastwood Products, I got a deal in the Box!
Holy crap!
WOW!!!! I didn’t know it came with custom exhaust?
Wow!!! This engine is going to make my car so fast they included a set of airbags!!
I should have listen to my wife and get my tetanus vaccine….
“No, This was a steal, ready-made OEM engine and OEM upholstered padding, plus combined shipping, the Aggies couldn’t beat that deal even if LSU had given it to them!!!!!! A little bit of hot sauce and cayenne pepper mixed in the soda blaster, it’ll run and shine like knew!!!”
Alright, a Fiat!
One Man’s Trash is another Man’s Treasure. Thank God for Eastwood!
Uh, This doesn’t look right!
I knew I was in trouble when the shipping company said damaged in transit.
Hello Monster Garage, let me see you make this one work
Dear did you take the bag of laundry to the Laundermat?
“Eastwood’s Restoration meets Impossible Dream”
One man’s trash,could be Eastwood treasures.
It rough, but I’d still take this over a “P.O.S.” Chevy any day.
That should, or better damn well be the worlds greatest oil in them cans.
Damn, The picture showed a chrome water pump and a Flex-A-Lite fan. Seller said they had to take few parts off to make it fit the crate.
The Best way to fit two barrels into a crate
A little Eastwood high temp engine paint and she’ll be fine 🙂
MICE!
Hey I know the crate said 09 but I didn’t know it meant 1909
PROJECT!!
O Boy restoration practice.
“Merry Christmas Honey!”
well i have to get the eastwood catalogue out
Holy Ashton Kutcher I’ve been punk’d!!
PROJECT!
cool now all I have to do is smelt this down, cast it, machine it with the prototype eastwood u-miil-it and it’ll be good to go.
Looked different in the picture……. Or, I should have sprung for the shipping insurance!
I hope the instruction video is in there!
A coat of paint and it will be just fine!!!
it did say gently used…
When this ENGINE was shipped to us for $1.500.00 for us to rebuild as great as we are we talked it over all 10 of us and figured only one place on earth could pull this off would be the BEST and that is when we had it shipped to EASTWOOD.Please let us know when it is finished.
Quote from J.R., “It’s not April Fools day already is it? Seriously guys, where’s the real crate?”
Your wife ain’t going to happy with you.
I’m going to need more tools!
What the crap? Well at least it has 5 good rods left. Now to weld up those holes in the oil pan!
Was it running when you bought it?
Ya think she’ll fire up?
WHAT THE HELL?
Hey J.R. lookie here Debris to Grand Prix!
Hmmm, I know they said it was a seasoned block, but I think it was a centuryed block instead. Hey Frank, looky what I brung ya!!!!
“Eastwood does not sell, trade, share or rent your return address, no matter how much like you like that flashy distributor!”
He should have got the premium package!!!
it did say gentle used…….
What the ….? Well at least I got a Holley out of the deal.
The advert in the Atlantis Gazette said “one careful owner”!
Darn!! I knew I should have paid the shipper the extra charge to moisture seal the crate !!
I’ll tell ya that is just breathtaking!! To say I’m jazzed is an understatement!
Time to call Eastwoods.
Well at least it will hold the boat steady! I can finally get rid of that “old” anchor.
told you my ex is a packrat
It’s going to take a lot of Eastwood products to make this look good !
How did “chitty chitty bang bang “wind up in my shop!?
You sure it ran when parked?
One mans trash is another mans treasure?
Better Call Eastwood
what the devil is all this crap?
This is just like Christmas in July!
Did Indiana Jones uncover this?
That’s the “Power Part” of the order, Please Send the “Horse” in the next shipment, Thanks
I guess you DO get what you pay for.
I’d bet Eastwood has a Video to fix this!
Sweet, drain the break in oil, a little fuel and we’re set!
Wheres the Air Cleaner Assembly?
Has this thing been checked for explosives?
oh i guess this is the wifes new engine
Gimme a face mask. This thing’s giving off all kinds of germs.
Let’s see— fan blade, carb, distributor cap. The big parts must be in the bag.
eBay “crate” engines are less expensive for a reason.
Wonder what I would have got if I ordered a Ford Motor!
This N.O.S. crate should have been listed as P.O.S.!
The ad said, all sales final – Thank goodness I have a Eastwood gift card!
“Let’s put the top back on this coffin and bury it”!
The parts in the box are what you need to remove from your motor before you ship to us to rebuild. We could not find the manual so we sent the actual parts that need to be removed, you do not need to sent them back.
Look forward to taking more $ from you
PS. you need to pre pay for shipping we do not except COD.
You may use your old oil for the #%$#^^ you just received.
dang eBay!
“There she Blows”
Where did they get this, Henry Fords estate sale?
What”the crap
Box 1 of 2
Aw Darn I got the Hillbillys replacement engine
I think we finally found where they put Jimmy Hoffa !
The best reason to buy your crate from somebody First Rate!!
It’s the new “Stealth” model. Just add rust converter it disappears!
I think they heard my order wrong over the phone. The invoice states Crappy Debris.
I’m going to need more DUCT TAPE!
“Good Lord of ..mercy..Martha..Call..Good will”
Kash for Klunkers, Phase II
That’s what I get for restoring a Ford instead of a Chevy.
I’ve been gipped, I want a refund.
Who signed for this???????
That will buff right out!
Talk about slow shipping
My wife says “That crap is NOT going in the garage!!!
honey were is my eastwood book i am really going to need it for this project
“When buying crated engines online, never mention to the Seller that you are using Eastwood products to restore your ride or this could happen to you!”
Our crate of custom parts just arrived! Everything has a fresh coat of iron oxide.
I’m sorry sir.You’re correct it doesn’t look the same. It wasn’t shipped this way.Too bad you waved the insurance.
OK! That Holley is going to need a complete rebuild.
Label says J.R.—- JUST RETURN.
they said the balance is in the mail,and will arrive someday.
Don’t look so bad!!
Should have spent the extra money and bought a Hemi.
Oh My God!
“expletive” (deleted)
Come on RJ with a little elbow grease, it will be good as new.
well, you get what you pay for!
I don’t see the dyno-sheet in here.
“Who in the hell did you buy this from….Sanford and Son?”
Now I wonder if eastwood could make this look good????
At least I have Eastwoods Powder coating equipment – it shouldn’t take long to make it look like new!!
Sometimes you lose and sometimes you don’t win.
“We’re gonna need an extra roll of duct tape this time boys.”
At least the crate is restorable.
I think I’m gonna need some paint.
Wow, The I wasn’t expecting the carburater and the fan blade.
OMIGOSH !!! I don’t see the bolt and screw package.
One man’s garbage is still another man’s garbage….time to call Eastwood: 1-800-can do!
A perfect balance between rust and metal
My mother-in-law said ‘she picked it up special, just for me!’
“What? This isn’t what the auction description said!”
Looks like we need one of those Eastwood engine touch up paint kits
Chuck
I guess it needs a little work.
Holy smoke! I really didn’t need another challenge at this time in the build. Good-bye budget!
I guess, I should not have ordered that “redneck special” crate engine…….
Well, at least it looks better than the transmission that arrived yesterday.
Only Eastwood has all the restoration tools and supplies to make this beast into a beauty of the ball. Time to fill my shopping cart!!!
UPS must have sent my parts by submarine.
It’s about time I ordered it in 1950
“Some assembly required” but where are the instructions?
This is what happens when you use the India Call Center for Crate Engines from Titanic Industries.
That’s a little underpowered for the whole crate!
Geez, I didn’t order a Ford!
“Boy do I have some work to do, good thing I have Eastwood abrasive blasting equipment.”
Wonder where I put that sand blaster. Sure am glad I bought that new Hot Coat system!
Knew I should have been more specific when I told them to send me there biggest rat motor available.
Is this what the post office measns by “if it fits it ship’s”??
Do you have Jay Leno’s phone number?
With EASTWOOD anything is possible !!
ADD OIL
STIR WELL
COOK AT 212 DEGREES

POWER IN THE BOTTOM
Ha Ha joke is on Her. My wife said a deal like that is too good to be true.
just not enough scrap metal to make the recycle bin
Great they sent a spare
my brother told me he just sold this stuff
to an idiot!!!
Hot damn! This beautiful, you sould have seen the last one I bought!
I’m glad they included the long tube headers and the four barrel carb, with the placement of the fan where it is it should make my Capri lighter.
They call it an economy car,,, at least show me how to put it together first,then I can make a rational judgement.
Aw, it looks awesome! That optional “Patina” finish was worth it!
Chris was happy the crate engine he ordered back in the ’60s finally arrived… albeit a little weathered.
” Now That’s A Crate Motor “
Whoa!! It’s even better than I thought!
Debris project? Sounds about right. A little polish and we are on our way!
“WHAT THE FU*K, IS THIS sH*T ???” *&^%$#@$#…. I’M GOING TO
KILL THE MOTHER THAT SOLD THIS TO ME….
What the ….Oh my….wait until I get ahold of that little Flocker!
What no packing peanuts???
Wow, better than I thought for the money I spent!
Great, the machine work’s all done! Now all I gotta do is find the tetanus vaccine.
Junk just what i was waiting for lol!!!
“Holey Crap”
I can fix this. I can fix this. I can fix this.
O.Shucks!!! They forgot to include the fan clutch, Now where did I put my METRIC WRENCHES?
If all else fails “Read the fine print!”
Them new green motors aren’t much to look at.
Damn, shouldn’t have ordered the economy special!
J.R. failed to notice the fine print on his receipt: “motor from vehicle on sunken island ferry in Gulf of Naples.”
Oooohhhh, its a kit….
I wonder if I can blame this on Sarah Palin?
Complete crate motor:Some assembly required, may need some refurbishment
Spoken in true Cajun dialect:
“Mah Junior, shonough be calful onhow you handle it, datdare is wannadem expainsive sweet-tater crates, howmuch you tank we can get fur-it? Hadtohavebeen some city-slicker putall dishere trash
upindare!!!!”
I know I have said this before, but this is really, REALLY the last time I buy a used stuff online.
box content: duct tape not included!
Woo hillbilly horsepower yehaw
I told you a Government run GM was a bad idea!
So this is what they meant when they said it just needed a little TLC and it would be as good as new.
Are you kidding me!!!! I didn’t order a flex-fan!!!!!! This thing is going to over heat!!!!!!
Where’s The Beef???? LOL!
Cool it’s a long block, with intake and carb.
Ten grand doesn’t go as far as it used to!
Fra-gee-lay. That must be Italian.
with an order from eastwood and some elbow grease shell look awsome!
my brother told me he just sold this
stuff to an idiot.
I’ve heard about “some assembly required”, but this is ridiculous!
This better be a joke !!!!
Hey–who ordered the scrap metal?
Send it to Jay Leno, His team can restore anything!!
Duct tape won’t work on this…
WHERE’S THE CHROME
You would think for the money I paid them , They would have at least painted it.
Look!! Its about time my parts got here! They will fit perfitly,I am glad they came at a huge discount.
’57 Chevy excellent condition, just needs a tune up…
wow i guess i should have not asked for that discount ???
Let’s get’r done!
holy s!!!~
I don’t care how long its been sealed up, that’s the carb I’m looking for.
Where the heck are the instructions?
A little Eastwood carb paint,engine paint and few buffing wheels and compound it will look good as new..
Drats! I have been screwed over. I am sure that guys at Eastwood will score big on this restoration. BIG!!!
“The contents of the shark’s stomach yielded a lot of debris, but still no Timothy.”
Now I know why the box was addressed to Frank N. Stein….
WOW!! They threw in the the Headers Too!!

The defination of junk is something you keep fo 10 years and throw it out 2 days before you need it.
It’s dead, Jim

I guess you did you did say it was a “Barn Find”
Just a little of Eastwoods Rust Converter, and Rust Encapsulator, and its ready for paint.
What DO They want us to use our products to try and restore these parts?
Back in the 6o’s we said in front of our dads in the backyard while working on a car, “Holy Moses” PS Love your products
You gotta have vision!
the edelbrock carb is worth it.
No–not again!
Gives new meaning to the phrase ” Rust Bucket”
Oh, this must the boat anchor I ordered!!!
Hey, all it needs is …………..
Well, It’s in a crate!
Well, it’s a good thing my Eastwood account is finally paid up, cuz I’m gonna be up all night ordering supplies to fix this mess. Now where am I gonna hide this mess so the wife don’t find out?
Just another day in paradise.
I think the rust will come off if not i can always use this crate for storage
J.R. the color is perfect but they forgot the Clear Coat.
Ooh– I’ll be getting GREAT gas mileage (since it won’t even run!)
And now for the real do- it- yourselfers, brand new crate engine available. Comes complete with vintage junkyard look!
Well, I guess 50% of the order is correct; but I’m thinkin’ this crate will not run as good as the engine would.
OK, Looks like nothing was damaged in shipping!!!
Nice crate!
At least I got a crate I can use.
Hey, where is the Air Cleaner?
WOW,this is great,now I don’t have to restore the rest of the car!

This project’s going to take a little more time
Made in China – Some assembly required.

Think trash guys took the wrong crate. Hope I can get my money back for this.wounder ifs still under under warranty.
Possibilities!
Well I’m glad I work for eastwood! With all there coatings and restoration tools this might not be a total loss!
Can,t you see the potential here !! ?
I sorta remember ordering this about 50 yrs. ago!!
Everybody should be so lucky!!!!! Let’s get to work and get’er done!!!!!
” Are the Chinese rejecting scrap metal shipments now ?”
I wonder if powerblock will help restore this beauty

Batteries not included . . . Some assembly required.
Model A was running, needs some work.
Well, at least it looks better than the one I just removed!
Whoo!! Presents!
Holy Smokes! This is what an engine shouldn’t look like!
Maybe it will look better after 12 cans of Gunk and a good steam cleaning???
“Nothing a little bit of Eastwood Rust Dissolver can’t fix!”

I bought it off of KerragsList.org. Aren’t they all honest!
I didn’t know I ordered the engine from the Titanic
Where there is Rust, there is a way!

Do I spy TREASURES in that trash??
Thiscan be rebuilt with a little of carb renew from Eastwood.
“I TOLD YOU…my ship would come in!”
Now I know why the vendor’s ad didn’t say, “New,” in crate.
If you buy from the “Other Guys” this is what your next Project will look like!
You’re going to have this project finished when?
Just a few simple adjustments and this baby will purr like a kitten!
Free, to a good home!!
Oh! Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? The previous owner!

caption #1 “Next time I’m using expedited shipping!” caption #2 “Before I order anything listed as being origional equipment again, I’m asking to see pictures first!”
Are you serious?!?! He must have thought we were associated with thr show “Overhaul”! Cause even Chip Foose would have said ” No way!” on this one!! Lmao
That seller sure was stupid. I stole this from him! What a find.
OMG, JR’s a real pile drivin’ man!
So this is what “Complete but needs some work” means. Eastwood products should clean that right up.

Your kidding right?
Might be better for a rat rod. In fact I saw the rat go thattaway!
I need alot of rust restorer
Oh darn, willya look at that. The fan blades are bent.
I knew that i should have paid for the fast shipping, i just never knew that it would rust so fast.
Ahhhhhhhh?

IT’S VINTAGE
“Well…They did say it was tested after built!”
‘THE NEW IRON OXIDE FUEL INJECTED ENGINE.’
Man, the distributor is on the wrong end. Wait it’s a Chevy! AHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh.
Only Eastwood can make these look new again!
Judging by the condition it looks to be in,once installed it should start right up
Well at least it won’t have to be broken in!
They did’nt say some assembly required
Im gonna need an eastwood catalog.
Yes!!!! I got my new crate ECO engine. It bio degrads upon start-up.
Wow! the guys on Old XYZ web site are not going to believe how lucky I was to find this Diamond in the Rough!
Dang, Bill’s rebuilt engine shop is doin’ better than before! It even has that new fangeled VAFD, Venturi Atomized Fuel Distributor, now I won’t have to hook up all dem dare feul enjection wires no more!
“That’ll buff out.”
This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “bone yard”!
a little spary on duct tape should put this baby together
He said I could return it for a refund, but I have to pay return shipping.
Hey Guys, did that box of CRAP that I ordered for my CAPRI come yet?
” Maybe I should have opted for the overnight delivery ” ?
Eastwood, restoring “old iron” for 33 years ….. I hope this project doesn’t that long though.
“Some User Assembly Required”
I ordered these parts from Whitney 30 years ago…Damn Post Office!
New engine,slightly used.Best offer accepted.
Little salty used, occasion to think Eastwood !!!
Should have spent extra for overnight delevery.
finally the rest of the parts to put that bucket of rust back togetter
I could’ve had a V-8!
“Man, I should’ve paid for the optional insurance!”
THE BALLISTIC CANON BALL EXPLOSIVE CRATE ENGINE PILE.
Well it came in a crate didn’t it
This motor is alright. It’s kinda like riding a mini-bike. It’s alright. Just don’t tell your Harley buddies.
Who’s junk is this, oh well Eastwood’s products will make it look better
Mercury miracle, marvelous motor, many more miles
Think I’ll save the crate and donate the parts.
Oh look, the instructions say “General Motors Time Capsule 2009. Open in 3009 to see what sunk the U.S. auto industry.”
hmm the ad said ran when parked?
Wow I am sooooo glad Eastwood makes products to help with this mess.
Guess I should have ordered the upgraded crate engine! HELLO EASTWOOD, I THINK I NEED A LITTLE HELP.
When they said I reeled in a good deal I didn’t know it realy came from a pond.
“Crate and packing material must be used when returning cores, or you will be charged for any damages”
NOS Crate Engine found on a recent submarine dive of the Titanic. Local man purchased engine and was surprised it wasn’t complet. More to this story at eleven.
NOW THATS WHAT I CALL A REAL CRATE MOTOR FOR A RAT ROD!!!!
He said “all the parts are there”.
“Hot Dog!!!! It,s got a custom exhaust, and the wood is not really that rotten.” I wonder if the oil has been changed?
Wait a minute, it says “create engine”, Dang.
Some assembly required, battery not included.
What the. Hope it runs as better as it looks.How much ponies you think it pushing
Gee, that’s not the way I sent it,Darn shipping company!!
Wll be good as new in no time With Eastwood Products
“I should have known something was wrong when the ad said,original exhaust included!”
just one question; what’s the silver bag for?
I said a crate engine, not engine in a crate!!!
With our products we can make this look good!!!
Crate: $5.00; cheap used packing material: $.25; engine parts to restore using Eastwood products: Priceless
Damn those iron worms!!!
Needs “a little” tweaking so it don’t run so rough!
Dang, I thought it had an electric fan!
Good God Gordy, Are those Chrome Headers ??
Hey, I thought it was supposed to be a crate engine, not a boat anchor!
Wow – what a barn find! just not the kind legends are made of….
Maybe I should have heeded Craigslist warning: “Buy from local sellers to avoid scams”! I feel sick.
Some assembly required!
Well half of J.R.’s Crate Engine came in. He’s still trying to figure out which half.
“This IS the crate engine you ordered.”
I would have gotten away with it if it wouldn’t have been for you medeling kids and that dog too.
That eastwood discount sure will come in handy now.
When J.R. said crate engine He didn’t mean that literally.
Secret santa fail!
“Come On Man”, Barn finds are Eastwoods specialty, a little paint, some rust inhibitor and wha la, a new enging!!!
WOW, This is going to take a lot more work then I thought.
Maybe I should have ordered the fuel injected model!
Oh no, they forgot the crome oil pan.
Thank goodness my order from Ford finally got here, now all I need is some engine bay black, a little rubbing compound, some underhood paint…..
What’s It Gonna Cost To Haul This To The Dump?
Holeeeeeeeeeeee crap!!!!!!!!!!
“It got wet”
“Joe see if you can find the C.A.R.B. sticker.”
And to think they were just going to throw it out. I guess its true one man’s junk is another man’s….junk.
Uh…I think we will need some new headers…
Not the worst mail order parts i ever got
Eureka I find it!!!
I knew it was shipping on the slow boat from China, didn’t think they meant behind it!
Must,ve come from BOB BARKER MOTORS the PRICE WAS RIGHT.
” it is a Toyota!”
That’s what you get for ordering from the OLD GM.
“Well crap, this engine was supposed to have an air cleaner included!”
Hey! What in the world is going on? I know I ordered a crate engine, not a basket case crate.
Guys, you have to see the diamond underneath. I believe there are 500 horses there waiting to be released. I love building it my own way anyhow.
No problemo. I’ve got an awesome set of tools!
wheres the magic marker???????????????
“ain’t she beautiful”
It is, what it is !!
OMG! it came with the carb and exhaust system!
Didn’t I order the stainless headers???
I think there’s going to be a little more work than I thought.
Boy do I ever need Eastwood now!
Your add said……COMPLETE…
Where are the plug wires……?????
I guess this could be defined as an engine in a crate. Now who do we call to get this thing cleaned up?
I knew I should have ordered a chevy!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my diamond in the rust!
Crate balls a fire !!!??
I’ll drink to that!
A little gas and that should fire right up!!!
I hope the blower is in that silver bag!
What a P.O.S ,”oh paypal”
What , no electric choke ?
When they said, “crate engine” I didn’t they meant it came off a crate!
Hot Dog…They Sent More Than I Asked For……Detailing Should Only Be A 30-minute Job With Available Eastwood Products!!!!!
Hey Bubba, I thought you order a crate engine, not a crap engine.
This guy is NOT going to like his feedback rating.
I see surface rust and potential!
wow! this gives N. O. S. a new meaning…..
Put some underhood black semigloss paint on the fan blades and it will be just like new.
A little WD-40,and, it’ll be fine!
Some times one mans junk is not another mans treasure its just junk
“Hmmm, when was my last tetanus shot?”
It’s unlikely that this crate engine will ever put out more horsepower than the crate.
“I’d swear the ad said crate, not crap engine!”
Oh Good! I thought it was gonna be a junker!!!
Ya get something for nothing thats just what ya get, NOTHING!!!
I wonder if the check cleared yet.
That’s just GREAT!!!
Where is the packing slip? Humm no directions either, better call Eastwood.
i guess my wife didnt forget that i got her a cookbook for our anniversary last year…..better call eastwoods
Honey, don’t worry – I can make this work. Hold my drink while I go find the Eastwood catalog.
I thougt Strange Engineering only did suspensions.
Oh Crap!!
Sweet!!! I got exhaust pipes, Too!!!
“Eastwood is gonna LOVE ME!”
Hey,I ordered a chevy not a ford!
“They always say you find it in the last place you look”
I hope there’s an Eastwood catalog in the bottom. I’m going to need it.
I knew I should have bought the Extended Warranty!
” What the rust! “
Just needs a little T.L.C. I have bought worse.
Right after his Tetanus shot, J.R. was all ready to tackle the beast….
sweet !!!
Wow, this new HotCoat RatRod powder turned out great!
Not bad, just needs a little polishing.
Well …… my “kit car” was rough also, when I ordered it.
“Houston, we have a problem!”
Challenge accepted!! They did a great job packing this and I got a steal on shipping. By the way, what is this extra bolt for??
So thats who I sold that pile to…OOPS
Parts that we replaced with new parts from EASTWOOD. Sorry for the misunderstanding of what you needed.
Crate engine by Flinstone Motors.
I out bid everyone on EBay
True!! Barn find
Not sure if engine turns!!
“WOW, JR……I didn’t know your budget was THAT Big !”
Thats the last time Ill ship ground
YES!!!!!! Open headers.
Well, let’s see if it’ll turns over.

O.M.G., Don’t let my wife hear about this!
Three days till Goodguys, Git’Er Done!!!
This is what i got for out bidding Master Crafter on E Bay
Darn, I forgot to order the air claener with it!

I knew i could not go wrong buying this low mileage crate motor with holley carb and headers, with only 5000 miles since rebuild, what a deal!!!!!!!!
LOOK! There’s a lucky penny in the carb!
at least the frame’s okay
This must be the wrong shipment, O well it will have to do.
“Crate motors for only the most serious rat rodders! No billet here!”
Crate motor to Rat Motor
So that’s what they call a crate engine, the guy said it was only used once!
Bob, finally got started on his restoration project and it seems that time has got away from him.
Looks more like a Mopar than the GM I ordered
HHHHmmmmmm , it must be a new chevy engine . Send it back I ordered a MOPAR . Eastwood wouldn’t make this mistake !
Could be worse. A little Carb Renew, Underhood Black and some silver Hi-temp and this baby will be as good as new!
I Love a challenge!
So that’s what they call a crate engine, the guy sais it was only used once!
Honey, I’m gonna need to order more supplies from eastwood!
I must have used the wrong part number
“You wanted a challenge J.R……..It’s going to take ALL of EastWoods Products on this one !!”
it dont need them parts
“This’ll be no problem for Eastwood prep products.”
So that’s what they call a crate engine, the guy sai it was only used once!
Cool, This will make 400 Horse EASY 🙂
That’s the last time I order something without rust inhibitor!
How much Rust Encapsulator do we have?
This is Eastwood, we can rebuild it!
Sometimes you get what you pay for…… and sometimes you dont.
Holy Shit !
J.R., I thought you were going with the electric fan!!!
I’m glad they packed it to prevent any damage:)
Hey, we can make something out of this! Get the tourches!
I can hear it purring like a kitten already, can’t wait to drop her in
Wow! Everything is here. Except the labor, the parts and the money to pay for it all.
I should have gotten 2nd day air shipping
Are you moving or are you on your way to the dump ?
One mans junk another man’s treasure.
Ugh….I ordered a crate motor not crap motor, LOL
It’l look good in my rat rod!
I thought i ordered a rat motor not a rat nest motor.
Well now, I guess it is going to need a few modifications.
You got to be shittin me!
Holy Shit !!! What the hell is this ???
someone has a beater with a new heart!
Well you might as well call eastwood about an engine stand.
there is nothing better then the smell of a fresh rebuilt engine early in the mornning??????
I can fix it
Nothing that a little Elbow grease can’t cure.
PLAYTIME!!!
Oh my god,What the hell is this suppose to be!
When I ordered it i didn’t think they ment litterally from an old crate!
Oh, that’s the I.E.D. crate motor that E.O.D. just released for production!
somewhere out there is a beater no more!!!
Did this come over on the Titanic?
Hope the engine was protected by the rust!
At least the crate looks okay!
No warranty expressed or implied!
“Where is my EastWood Catalog…? I think I’m going to really need it this time !”
They must have hired a bunch of monkeys to pack this order . I will say the monkeys do pack well with those big silver bagd protecting the parts .
You mean I have to piece this together? I thought a crate engine came already assembled!
We fuss with Rust, but GUS put her back on the bus!
WTF,I should have got a V8
Some custom fitting required.
somewhere out there is a beater no more!
Hey, a little Eastwood Rust Converter, and we’re all set!
Don’t touch my junk!
Maybe before the wife see’s it I can use some Eastwood rust converter, primer and a gallon of paint so it won’t look so bad.
Sorry your checked bounced? Please send a good replacement and you may get the rest or the crate!
DAMNED ADD DID SAY GOODWINCH, GUESS IT WASN’T A TYPO.
“2011 MOUSE POWER”
No Problem We can fix that!
After his initial surprise, J.R. went back and re-read the listing for his new crate engine. He then realized that the listing stated that his new OEM crate engine was actually for new crate… From the online listing: For Sale OEM engine for Capri with 4 barrel carb, complete and running before crated. Also as a bonus you get new wooden crate included for free…
“They messed the order up, this is a Chevy crate engine.”
“And to think……I only paid 10 Bucks for all this !!”
I think we’ll get more use out of the packing material.
WHAT NO STAINLESS HARDEARE ??
DAMNED I THOUGHT GOODWINCH WAS A TYPO
“Man, UPS is slower than ever!”
I knew I should have ordered the “Deluxe” kit for $10 more!
No problem ! just needs a litte paint !
With Eastwood I know this will work
Can you believe someone was just giving away this awesome engine! I bet after we drop this baby in it’ll crsnk right up on the first try!
A little bit of spit and mud and we can have it together in no time!
Looks turn key to ME!!
Let’s drop it in and fire it up.
Man! Next time I’m payin’ to have it shipped overnight, and I don’t care how much it costs!
i think i saw something move in there, look, it was eating on the headers,
that is the best deal ever for 1 doller
“I should have bought my crate engine from Eastwood.”
Damn almost a numbers matching set up
With a little Sand blasting & POR it will be “CRATE AS NEW”
This should have been delivered to the Sanford & Son residence.
Perfect for the rat rodder in all of us.
1 crate check
1 motor check
1 call to Eastwood check
I’m really glad I just got a tetanus shot
A recipe for disaster!
I think I need to order some engine paint & header paint from Eastwood.
A Eastwood gift certificate would be appropriate here
WOW! Your lucky, they even sent you a grab bag.
Ran when pulled
“I’m now thinking ’32 3-window”
Shoot they shipped me the crate destined for the junk yard
LOOKS ORIGINAL!!
What, no spark plug wires ?
Let,s just hope nothing missing.
look another rat rod in progress
Only Eastwood can save his marriage now!
What The!!!, Well at least it looks authentic, a few Eastwood products and it’ll look good as new.
I will say they are getting mch better at packing our orders ! Remember when they used to send our orders all thrown into a box ?
Thank god for Eastwood
And you said the sellers name was Ben Dover!
NASA WE HAVE A PROBLEM !!!!!!
O my look they even gave me extra parts
in a real crate too
“Hey, where’s that rust encapsulator???”
I guess the “Budget Barn” was the wrong place to order this. I sure wish Eastwood sold engines!
Woohoo! They thru in a carb., a high flow fan blade AND a set of custom headers!!
Yeah…Now I understand why I won that Ebay auction so easily & cheaply.
This is restoration to the max!
It only need some Eastwood detailing
They forgot to pack the instructions again ! Get that homing pigeon ready and tell them to send the instructions . I am tired of dealing with the mess they always send us and never include the instructions written in stone ! They must think we are dealing in the stone ages !
Well, You get what you paid for.
One mans junk is another mans treasure
I’ll have this baby runnin in no time !
Where,d you get it M.M.M, Monday Morning Motors
I think I’ll need to order more navel jelly!
Huh? A distributor cap but NO WIRES? How cheap can they get?
Last time I’m paying for parts with sexual favours thats for sure!

“My Dad is a TV Repairman with an awesome set of tools, I can fix this!”
Crap Crate
“Yeah Baby…..I like it like that”
Or
” Holy Batcrap”
“I think we better pull out the Eastwood catalog!”
Why Sure!!! But do the “Roman Numerals” Match?
OMG, screwed again!
I thought they said “powder coated”, but this is “dust coating”
“I told that guy this was for a rat rod, but this is ridiculous!”
I think this has potential!!
WHOO HOO!!!! Headersssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!
Crate engine? I meant crap engine. Damn spellcheck…
I order the street motor, not a marine indoard!!!!
I found the perfect motor for my “survivor” musclecar clone.
Another “Rusty Wallace” crate engine.
Wow This thing has potential!
Somethings not right, pull everything out and lets check those date codes.
Oh my god where do i start
Pfft and the Craigslist ad stated “Like New condition !”
What the???? No bubble wrap?
It certainly is an engine in a crate.
Well At least I can build a really cool Mail BOX!!
You sure crate wasn’t a typo?
Engineered to bolt right in!
OK… Maybe it’ll need a little exhaust work after it’s installed!
Just Soak With It With Rust Remover,Tune It Up And Head For Daytona
No kidding Crateman, then sent only part of the used parts
OH NO They sent me the shop junk box by mistake . I HOPE
Last known factory fresh Trabant engine in existence.
Holy Crap Batman
Pfffft and the Craigslist ad said “Like new condition !”
one mans trash is another treasure
I should Have insured it.
“WTF”
at least they packed it well
Thanks for showing up everyone, and your interest……. I think I’d rather ride my Bicycle!!!
Aww J.R., I thought you got a V8!?
Honest, it was running just fine when we crated it up…

“WOW” I thought I ordered a create engine? Darn I re-read the add and it say “Create-a-engine” everything included, some assembly equired. Create & frieght free. Don’t miss out on this one of a kind Create Engine.
Oh NO, they sent the shop junk box by mistake, I hope
I knew I shouldn’t have ordered it on EBAY.
“Cool! It comes with dual exhaust!”
A little of Eastwood’s specialy coatings and it will look like new!!
What am I supposed to do with this pile of junk?
this crate may contain profanity,anger and violence
mechanical guidance is needed ( MG-13)
IT JUST NEEDS A FEW EASTWOOD PRODUCTS!
Hey this is way too nice to put in the Capri!
look like they brown baged most of it
Someone get the “Master Blaster-Dual Blaster” hooked up and about 500 pounds of media so I can actually SEE whats in the crate.
???$$&#$&? I THOUGHT THE EBAY PICTURE WAS A LITTLE FUZZY!
clean up a little rust with eastwood products and it will be as good as new.
Should have never used Titanic Shipping!
Free is for me!
The guy on Ebay told me the engine was still in the crate….looked good to him (as is no returns)
I got this! I have Eastwood on speed dail.
I think the ebay photo my a have been photoshoped?
Buyer BeFreakinWare to the Extreme!!!!
Wow! Now I will be able to build the Ford that I have always dreamed of.
What the Hell is this?
I thought they said crated not cratered!
I didn’t think you could get that many dead ponys in a crate.
HEll YEAH.. son get the powder coating kit!!
Rusty dusty a little musty, where’s my paint before I faint.
holly scrap! I need to call Eastwood’s
do you think we can find the timeing mark

Gee i wonder where the spec sheet is for the horse power and torque rating its usually right on top here!
Just what I didn’t want!
MMMMMMM, rust. I think I have something to fix that!
at least it’s was free shipping.
Hmmm….It actually looks better than the AD described it.
Is this ‘1951’ or 2011? Best I get to rolling my change…….
Looks like this is going to cost me just a bit more!!!

It ran just before we packed it up!
These parts were new when they were shipped. I should have paid for next day shipping.
A little Rust Converter, a little Rust Dissolver, some Metal Wash here, a few squirts of PRE, some Ceramic Engine Paint there, and a gasket or two…piece of cake!
Who needs header collectors anyway?

That’s not a crate engine! It’s a crap engine!
No wonder it was on sale!

one mans junk,another mans treasures
Dang, they threw in a free pillow!

This is for the project Debris-Capri. This is the DEBRIS part!
Sarge; the Replacements have Arrived. It’s time to rotate back to the world..

That is the right fan to keep a flathead cool.
It still looks better then what I’ve got now….
Piece of cake. My buddy Eastwood and I can have this looking like new in no time.
WELL IT WAS ADVERTISED AS A DIRECT REPLACEMENT FOR ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.
Sarge, the Replacements have Arrived. It’s time to rotate back to the World.
Still easier to fix then the economy!
This gives a whole new meaning to “some assembly required”!!!
Crate engine, I wish Eastwood sold engine’s!
Well with all this **** there has to be a pony someplace…
“Heck, with all my Eastwood goodies THIS engine will be good as new in no time at all !!”
Some where in here there has to be directions
I wanted a winter project but not for completion in the winter of 2023.
Crate o crap!

Found the first part, now to find the rest.
HELL YES! A CLASSIC!
Uh oh! Dad was pinching pennies again!
With all the products I have from Eastwood, I can make this look better than new in no time. What a bargain!!
Sweet, now to see if Eastwood has 55 gallon rust encapsulator…
Good golly molly,you’d been had!
“Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world’s first bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better…stronger…faster.”
So this is what a rust bucket looks like
try Eastwood before you give up on old crate motor
cool my crate engine is here, what the heck thats supposed to be an electric fan!!!!
looks like a job for rust converter and header paint. I guess I’ll have a big order for Eastwood this week.

Well, I guess I’m finally get to use some of those paints and coatings I’ve been buying from Eastwood all these years……
Some Assembly Required
Hey, Jethro, I thinks maybe we put a mite too much nitro in that one.
A little Eastwood’s rust encapsulator and high temp paint will make it good as new.
“some assembly required”
This is the last time I buy something from Jed Clampet

I wonder if the shipping cost is more than the scrap value
Wow, I didn’t know that the Chinese made Crate engines, and in kit form too!!!
Perfect ! Next time I’ll order it with engine paint.
“That’s the last time I order a crate motor from Eastwood”…
I must not have read the fine print “Actual Product may differ from stock photo”
I thought you ordered a crate motor? This looks like a kit.
I told them to use lots of bubble wrap!
Oh well, as long as it makes good power.
Holy S–t!!!
i guess i should have sprung for the long block kit.
Where’s my other header?

The beginning of another restored mechanical masterpiece!
“……seriously this is the last time I buy a .99 cent mystery auction from EBAY.”
I wonder if it will fit in my new Eastwood tumbler???
C’Mon Man!
All original very rare, original crate, first 5,000.00 gets it!
Where,d you get it? Scavenger Motors
Distributor, good. Fan, Good. Carb, OK. I think they might have padded shipping costs with these headers though.
This better be a bad joke!!!
Looks like I’ll be paying close attention to the Eastwood sales flyers…..
“Hello, EASTWOOD? Send me…oh…at least one of EVERYTHING in your catalog!”
Oh-Boy, They sure don’t make them like they us too!
What-no radiator cap???
I always wanted a nice container to store my used motor parts in!
Hey–The Dyno Report is supposed to be in here somewhere!

Hey dig a little deeper there might be a Studebaker in there.
I thaught that Ebay auction for a crate engine for $499 was to good to be true.
A little Eastwood RUST Encapsulator and it will be good as new.
Now I know why they said “Like new never used.”

“I should have ordered the motor from a company I know I can trust”
Hey wait a minute, didn’t we order the chrome accessories package?

Ad in newspaper said FREE assorted car parts, headers, carburator,
radiator fan with belts and much more. All parts in working condition. You pay actual shipping $150.00
Boy, I sure hope this comes with a warranty……..
But Honey. I might need this stuff sometime!
Some assembly and Eastwood required.
Some assembly required.
A little spit and polish and it’ll be ready to install!
“Hello Eastwood, we have a problem!”
At least it is made in the USA!
Thank God for Eastwood.
They said air cleaner to oil pan! Where’s the air cleaner?
Call the freight company the engines not in the crate.
Everything seems to be here. Gotta call eastwood for some hi temp coating and a big bottle of rust convertor.
I did not order this engine this way!
Hey wow they even packaged it.
And it’s numbers matching!
Uh..how long is the warranty?
I GAVE WHAT FOR THIS
Martha! Get me the Eastwood catalogue!
I knew that price was too good to be true!
At least, the crate is in good shape!
I meant a mercury debris, not flood debris.
I was always told you get what you pay for. I think this is the case here.
CRATE O CAPRI CRAP!!
They sent me the wrong fan!!
Yippee! All I need is a FORD chassis and I’ve got a hot rod.
That’s the last thine I order a crate engine from mexico

Nothing a little powder coat cant fix
Sweet they sent the fan and exhaust.
Holly S*^t. I thought the add said crate engine “not crap engine”!!!
PERFECT! Exactly what I need and I get to rebuild it too!

They don’t build them like they used to.
AHH ! A “do it yourself” with Eastwood
I knew I should have asked for pictures.
“carbureted???? I ordered fuel injection!!”
I knew I should have asked for pictures.
Typical Ford junk

Thank you for the added metal scrap to go with the project.
Hannibal, give me 30 minutes and I can fix this!!!
Mama always said, lifes like a box of engine parts.
” Tetanus Shot required before proceeding beyond this point”
Whet the H—,this is just a box of junk.that’s not my engine that I ordered.they are getting a phone call.
Maybe I shouldn’t have paid extra for that “ratt rod motor” option.
Not to worry my friends. All I need is some specialty paints from Eastwood & it will win best of show this summer!!!
I Ordered this In 1968 Talk About Backordered Items…
I ordered This In 1968 Talk about Backorbered items….
Hecho en Mexico

WOW! now I can finally out run Billy Bob when I put this in my Rod!
Post who you bought it from, the only folks that made out on that was the shipping company..
I see a diamond in the rough in that 302…hard to find old parts needing a little TLC. Just a little cleaning, welding, rust treatment, and painting with products and tools provided courtesy of the guys at Eastwood, it will look good as new. I get much more satisfaction from restoring old and ugly to shiny and new rather than buying new engines!!
Wow! They even included the distributor cap and the fan!
Honest honey, I have some good stuff for the swap meet.
what in the world have i bought now!
Holy Crap Batman, looks like we need to get on the Eastwood Website QUICK!
This engine should have come in a pine box!
Now that’s a junk drawer!

HOLY CRAP! Honey……….. quick, get me the Eastwood Catalog!!!
Holy Smoke Batman! The Joker really did it this time!
WOW, looks like this one had a long hard trip, so much for “handle with care”.
WoW ! You don’t get much for your money anymore! {Is that new?} Unless you buy it from Eastwoods !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Said J.R.
holly crap.!
You’ve heard of the Ford FE blocks? This is Ford’s new “eco” block the Fe^2-O^3. It runs on iron oxide!
While it was “new in box,” the online auction however neglected to mention that the box had no lid when they stored it in the field out ba… er… “outdor storage facility”
This is not what the picture looked like on Craigslist!!!
“Its just a little surface rust….”
A bottle of Eastwood rust gel & I’ll be good to go !!

Some assembly required
Eastwood says: a little rust encapsulator, some anti rust, add rust converter and these parts will be like new.
I guess they should’ve used packing peanuts.
Well. . . . . . I got it for a good price . . . . don’ta know!
Never judge a engine from what it looks like ,never never .
you know it was too good tobe true,(crate motor needs assembly )
Well, at least I got a nice crate and a shiny gray pillow out of the deal. I can use the pillow to cushion the blows as I smash my head against the wall!
its not chop cut rebuild ,its chop cut scrap
Time for a tetanus shot
Holy pile of rust Batman! Get on the Batphone to Eastwood NOW!
Thanks Santa……I was a goodboy…..
“Let me see… That’ll be a can of Eastwood Carb Renew, two cans of Underhood Black, a quart of High Temp Engine Paint, and a prayer!”
“The box is cool”
I hope there’s an Eastwood catalog in there!!
OH good! They sent the free flow exhaust to.

All I need is a good block and an Eastwood Catalog, I’ll have it running in no time!!!
How much horsepower?
Holy Crate!
It might need some paint.
The U.S. mail is slow, but this is rediculous!
“Finally, a set of headers without those pesky collectors!”
When I asked if it turned over, he said “Yes”. I guess he meant by flipping it.
J.R says ” I can fix this”
With a few minor adjustments we will have this engine purrin’ like a kitten.
I didn’t know you had to assemble boat anchors!
…looks like it would make a great boat anchor, don’t’cha think?
I thought you said 4-6 weeks to ship, not 46!
…and I just went & bought a new anchor for my boat!
Oh S*it!! I thought they said “ready to run.”
There could be some other comments, but I don’t think that kind of language was what you wanted.
Bought off EBay…Well this is exactly as described and looks better then the pictures.at least the crate is in decent shape.
stupid tax
J.R. said, “I’m in my happy place, there is no rust in my happy place, I’m in MY F’KING HAPPY PLACE.”
