Thanks for the reply. I'm thinking that the best thing I can do with this engine and trans is to find a 52-53 car or station wagon to drop it in. Of course, if I hadn't destroyed so many early and late 50s Fords on the dirt tracks it would probably be easier to find one, right? I see you're in Flagstaff. My wife and I delivered health and beauty products to the Walgreen warehouse there every Wednesday morning at 6 for almost 5 years starting in 1991. Our first trip there was Thanksgiving week and we were supposed deliver at our regular time but we got stuck in Groom, TX for 30 hours because of ice on I-40. That made us late to Walgreens so we spent 3 days in Flagstaff playing tourists. We really like that area.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
