WQ Motor looking for it's car
 

I have a 69 WQ motor that I was planning to put in my 69 TA. Before starting I checked with those that know and it turns out it was originally delivered in a 69 4spd TA with blue standard interior & stack gauges that was registered in Indiana as recently as 2012. If anyone knows of or has this car please let me know, I have your motor.

VIN is 223379N111339 will trade for equal or better.

Not mine but I wish it was…. I’ve found 2 so far. 1st was in a jet boat and ended up having a cracked web. 2nd is a no ser# block with 69’ drilled mounts & dated as ‘69 but has a 1970 block casting so not ideal.

Interested in the second wq block if your passing

Thanks for inquiring. I have kept both. The latter is in the shop now and will be going in my T/A…

Ta wq
 

Good move 👍

Looking for the WQ engine, just bought the 69 TA from Indiana. missing the engine! if you still have it let me know? Richard Peake 502-645-0864. Thank you

This could be interesting.

Last activity date of the OP here was Jan 27th 2024, nearly a year ago. Might try sending him a private message also. It may send him a notice where a nearly 1 year old post may not.

I PM'd the OP on another site that he is on more often to let him know he has a bite on the WQ motor, hopefully he sees the message and jumps back into this conversation.

chris doesnt frequent these forums much anymore. i sent him a text and told him.

Car (with that motor) was sold a couple of years ago. I can look to see if I have the guy's contact info in my folder to pass on to you.

Edited comment - Irrelevant Chris already responded. Didn’t see Chris response

I figured that where that engine went

Good luck sorting this out hope it works out for all in the end. Always good to see an engine back in its original body

Connected Rcpeake with current owner of the car/block - not sure if the block is still available or not.
