nos '85 LM9 crate engine, still in crate

Anthony P · 02-01-2007, 04:05 PM

A friend of mine is selling a LM9 crate engine. It has never been installed in a car. It is still in the full crate. I can e-mail pics to any interested party. The individual photo file size is too large to be posted here.

Quantity of one – 3.8L LM9 crate engine, Engine Assembly Code NDA dated 15 Mar 1985, Block 25524140, water pump tag 5NDA-009. Has 20 bolt pan, reinforcing “ribs” cast into upper valley of block, starter, flywheel, headers, crossover, coilpack/module/plug wires, turbo, stainless braided up-pipe, steel coolant lines, throttle body, intake manifold, fuel injection rail, regulator, injectors, harness, etc. No engine accessories or brackets for alternator, PS pump, etc.

There may also be a second LM9 crate engine for sale. It is out of the crate. It is missing intake manifold assembly (as in manifold unbolted and removed) and right side exhaust manifold. The owner has other correct complete unused intake manifold assemblies that can be substituted.

If interested, just make a fair offer. The owner wants to sell it, not give it away for its weight in scrap. It is located in northern New Jersey.

You dont happen to know if thats a Riviera motor or a Regal one do you? I couldn't cross reference the NDA code as both cars used it. On the Regal the turbo sits on top of the motor and on the Riv it sits behind the motor and the crossover pipe wraps around the back side of the heads more or less. I might be interested if its a Riv motor. Here are two pictures. The one on the left is a Regal and the right is a Riv. Notice the cast aluminum elbow on the Riv.

Thanks turbofish38 for the pics. It is definitely a turbo regal LM9. I had been asked about the possibility of a turbo riv. in the past but have never seen a pic. Now I have one.
