Is the 215 cu in engine any good? It seems many were replaced and there are not many if any 215s around.

I think you don't see a lot of them around since it was only used for 2 years (52-53) in Fords. In '54 they bored it out a little to get the 223, they also raised compression and got 14 more h.p. out of it.

Are there any around for sale? I'd like to put the original size back in my 52.
