Theo, I looked through your forum, very nice and an unexpected wealth of information on the Lincoln motors. This just proves you can find anything on the internet! I saw a reference to a 430 in Pennsylvania being sold, and the price was $75. At that cost, the motor would provide a lot of essential parts like the block (which would probably never wear out anyway) for boaters who had reservations about running an old engine like that.
Since there are still many people out there running the indestructible Hercules flathead industrial motors, I don't really see any reason why the big Lincoln wouldn't also last forever. It would be fun to get an old motor like that and build it up for use in a speedboat. I've looked thorugh the photos here on the forum (pauls Mt dora pictures) and after seeing some of those Cadillac motors, it would be double fun to have a Lincoln.
regards,
Ernie Hamilton
