SOLD, Thanks 1952 or 1953 Ford or Merc Engine. (will fit 1948 to 1953) I pulled this engine from a 1950 Ford Truck. the prior owner didn't know how long the engine had been installed in the truck as he purchased two trucks as parts to the one he was building and didn't need this one. I removed the fuel pump and the valley looked very clean with no sludge buildup. the oil looked pretty clean when I drained the old oil and there was no noticeable buildup or sludge in the pan either. I started to clean this up intent on putting in my 51 F-1 but I never finished adding all the other parts needed. ie points rotor cap , plugs wires, etc etc. I checked all the valves with the plugs out and none of them were stuck and looked good from what I could see. (no carbon buildup etc.) The Starter was also bad so I replaced the starter with a greasy one I had stuffed under the bench. Oil pressure right around 40 psi Compression as follows Cylinder #1 121 #2 131 #3 120 #4 123 #5 116 #6 119 #7 117 #8 116 Average of 120 Vacuum reading was right around 17 to 18 at idle (My elevation above Sea Level is 4700 feet) blip of throttle would drop to 4 to 5 range. the Generator was making a horrible noise after revving engine up, bearing or something is going out. and the choke lever on the carb wasn't holding the choke plate open so I had to hold that open. and the fuel pump started to leak from the diaphragm.

I can ship this truck freight Via Fastenal for the best rates. Usually you would pick up the engine at your closest local Fastenal store, (they can load it in your truck or trailer with forklift ) or sometimes they can deliver to business with dock or forklift (depending on location) West Coast Shipping $150 200 range (depending on location East coast probably $300-350 Range maybe less? or alternately I can ship this truck freight from business to business or business to dock? Thanks for looking
