RE: Predator 424 4 cycle engine
A few years back there was a ex Abitar employee at a swap meet in the Minneapolis ,St paul area that had a LOT of parts that he took instead of money that thay didn't have . Where he is now I don't know .
I sold a used one on E-Bay last month for $450.00 & yes they are collectable .
They also were NO good ,design & material problems. Max Hansen

If you want one that is really rare then look for the origional version of the motor made by Conley Precision. The motor was origionally supposed to be picked up by K&B Motors. I had one of these and sold it soon after I acquired it. Running reports had the power at about the pre OS 120 surpass levels and that was nothing to brag about.

Actually they fixed the problems but it was too late and the company folded . Very few of the good versions were were ever produced . How to determine what one you have, The first version that problems had 4 long studs that attached the cylinder and head to the block . the later version had 4 bolts to mount the cylinder to the block and 6 bolts to secure the head to the cylinder .. I had the first version and it failed after 2 tanks of fuel , The factory replaced it just before closing there doors ,it's been no trouble at all . I would not pay much for a first version even as a collector but the second version is extremely rare and would have great value to a experienced collector . cheers ..
