Default Re: Mystery motor?

Well unrestored is subjective, to some that means mechanical as well. obviously a rebuild has new parts. Meaning correct motor etc....

...but not to be that guy, very nice car!

My guess is you have at least a truck oil pan on the motor and truck water pumps. truck oil pans had the cleanout and the rear sump needed to clear the straight axle. Also the truck motors parts make it possible be bolted to the early trans. Actual block could be merc/etc for a car.


Most gasket engine sets include extra's. Most everything is also interchangeable. It's a ford thing, also why you have a 49-53 in your car with some mods.
