This should be a video of engine running.

I have water in the radiator and there are no water leaks anywhere.

Here is what I know about the engine, it was in a 51 f-3 truck I purchased back in early 2010. it ran and drove I drove it around a while before I tore the truck down. (the drivetrain is/was in excellent shape but the cab and body was not) hence the tear down.

I was going to use this engine in my f-6 build so I pulled from the f-3, cleaned it up a bit and painted it this sea-foam green (the correct color for a 52 truck)

the prior owner had rebuilt or had the engine rebuilt in approx. 2000 or 2001? I couldn't find or verify any of those specs. the owner died in 2006 or 7? and the son ended up with the truck. he told me it had probably 500 miles on it since rebuild. (No sludge in the valley, its nice and clean)

I have some receipts from him showing parts purchased and new water pumps from MAc's in 2002. so the pumps are in great shape.
I just slapped an old crusty carb and fuel pump (pump is rather squeaky) cap, plug wires, generator, fan and belts etc on to run it for the video.
Only thing I would like to keep off the engine is the fan and fan hub assembly, otherwise everything Carb, pump, etc is included. the starter even has a rebuild tag on it.

I also did a compression check and they all are within about 110-115 psi (I have the exact numbers written down and will update the ad with those values) our elevation here is 4700 feet above sea level.


I have had this in the garage for over 2 years waiting for my F-6 however unfortunatly I must sell this now due to unforeseen circumstance.
