The Ford Barn

Local widow called asked if I knew anyone who would be interested in her late husband's extra engine and transmission for a Model A. She knows nothing about it. It has been stored in her brother's barn for at least 15 years. Good dry location. Transmission shifts very good and seems very tight. Pulled a spark plug out and no rust visible when I looked inside. No starter, distributor, or carburetor. Could not get it to turn over by prying on the ring gear, but I really didn't have a proper wrench or bar.

It looks to have been set up for a stationary application, as it has a very unique exhaust manifold and intake manifold. The front of the crank shaft has a square hole in the end about 3/4 inch square. I will attempt to post some pictures, after I figure out how to do that.
