Rescued another engine
I have a thing for old Ford engines.......
My friends and family think I'm nuts, as i probably have 20 sitting around. I'll admit it's a sickness.
I just can't stand to see them scrapped....which is where this one was going tomorrow.
223 from a 56 pickup. It was running a couple weeks ago. The guy yanked it to swap in a SBC
Lot's of good parts if nothing else.......

I know I've got the same bug, just hauled home a 292 (possibly a later 312) that I found under the hood of a 56 F-350 that was buried in the back of a field. Hoping I can resurrect it to go into a current F-1 project =)

I love the straight 6. I can't believe he pulled it for an SBC. The guy must be crazy.
Thanks for saving it. Now you need to adopt it out to a loving home.

I too have the sickness. I think I just made a deal to go pick up a early 50's Packard straight 8. Hope to bring it home in a couple of weeks

The blue one in Aztec? I've been hemming and hawing over that one for a year.

HAha, naw......I think it's good for another season!
An old tire works great to keep them from sliding around in the back of the truck.
Glad to see I'm not the only one with this disease....
