410 motor rentals?

Theokayman · 2/8/11, 1:10 PM

I'm a LOW-buck local sprint car racer looking into the possibility of renting an aluminum 410 for the season. I'd love the chance to purchase one, but the lack of funding won't allow that right now. So my question to the world of IOW is this: are there any 410 rental programs out there that a local racer could afford. I'm not looking for top of the line, like Gaerte, Stanton, Claxton, et al. Maybe an old -12 head motor that someone has laying around? Any input/suggestions/recommedations would be helpful. Thanks.

Jake....I looked into rent an engine to finsh out the year last season. After talking to the very few people that do rent out motors I found that you are WAY better off to just wait and build what you can afford... You would be very lucky to find a motor for less the $1000/night.. hopefully im wrong and you can find something much cheaper.. but with rebuild costs so high most guys wont rent them out cheap!
