Yep, the motor (223) is poached sitting too long with valves open.

Pick up the 223 sitting here, get the 64 on the road and then get started on the 56.
You might as well grab the two fairly decent doors for the 64 that are also sitting around here looking for a new home.

[quote=Fomoko1;6369384]then get started on the 56. [quote]
uh oh, then you're not going to like the ad I put in the classifieds, on the other hand maybe you will lol

The donor motor does sound real good though, I don't suppose you still have the one you where given by the guy who pulled it out of a 57-60 Ford halfton? cause that one sounded like a good motor.

I`m not sure wehter to be happy or not about your ad..........
That 223 your asking about is still here as is the one in the 60 Meteor sedan which I was also told ran ok.
If your 56 is really for sale maybe we can make a swap.....

I guess I gave Chris dibs (for a realative of his) but I'm sure a trade could be worked out if he don't want it for the price I'm asking.

I like trading, it makes it harder for the gonvernment to set a tax on 2 chickens and a old tractor. lol

I might put it on kijiji and ask 1000, see if anyone interested, but I think I like the idea of making a trade with Fomoko.
