Dauntless parts/rebuild options?

[E.Schlegel]

Is there a best option for rebuild kits/parts for the v6 Dauntless engine? I have looked online and there does not appear to be large availability of parts via the companies I am familiar with from the muscle car side. Is there an online location that is the best option? Below is the engine as it currently is, it has been stored like this for nearly 10 years in western Kansas, so may not be salvageable in which case I would be looking for a crate engine or re manufactured.

I apologize if this may has been asked already, but I could not find it using the search function.

Thanks for the advice in advance.

Welcome E.Schlegel!

Looks like the engine was at least dry in it's slumber. As long as there was not water left in the block and allowed to freeze, you should be alright. It will take a lot of effort to get everything moving again, but you should have a descent base.

TJones is in the process of finishing up his hot rod V-6. He can give you the ins and outs of what to expect.
