Early 58 352
I have a 58 Fairlane that looks to have the original H code
352.I have'nt seen the block I.D. but the heads are EDC-E and
have adjustable rockers which means solid lifters and machined
combustion chambers right? The motors stuck and has been for the five years I've had it.
I want to sell the car but need to know what the motor is worth,
the heads in particlar.Thanks for any help or info you can give

production were solid lifter,10.2 comp. with machined chambers.

I think what the engine would be worth depends on how much of the original equipment remains on it. Is the carb stock? Right air cleaner? Alternator and other driven accessories in the right places?
I don't think anyone but a purist would fall over himself to get his hands on a 352; they're just not that popular, even though the early ones made good power. If it's not complete and you can't get it to turn over before you sell it, I don't think you could get much over $300-$400 for it, at least where I am from. I think your best bet would be to find someone who is looking for an early 352 for a restoration project ('58 T-birds also got the 352) and hit them up. You'll get more money for your stuff if you advertise to a specialty market, and reading up on them there will give you an idea of an asking price.
BTW, late '50s Fairlanes, like most other cars back then, were fullsize automobiles, so they had to have a big scary motor. The Fairlane was just another trim level for the Ford car.

The only missing parts are the air cleaner and carb but
I guess what I was getting at was that I thought the heads
might be in demand (machined-small chamber).Maybe this is
what Ebay is for. I've been meaning to try selling stuff there,
just have'nt had time to figure it out.But shipping ?Lb.
cylinder heads, I don't know.
