49 F-1 Engine/Trans Dilemma

So I am putting a 351C 4V with a C4 in my truck. MY dilemma is that the orginal engine (6 cyl) is a running driving engine and the tranny (3spd) appears to be a rebuilt tranny. It is the only thing that has fresh paint on it. So do I scrap the engine or not? if not What are each worth? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I can take pictures at the end of the week when I get home and post them if anyone wants to see them.
Thanks
Greg

Don't scrap the engine and tranny - Flat 6's arn't that common and folks want them for a period type vehicle - The 3 spd either light or heavy duty are sought after
Where are you located in MT? - There are folks in that area that may be interested - Unless you want to tote them over to PA some weekend.
