We've been cleaning up the farm lately and taking a lot of stuff to the scrap yard, and there's three engines that I thought I'd post here in case somebody wants them instead of sending them to the scrap yard. There's a '56 Olds 324 with a single 4 barrel intake on it, and 2 Ford flathead engines. They've been sitting for many years and I have no idea if they can even be saved. Just match scrap value and I can bring it to CS this fall. If you want pictures I can take some tomorrow.

The body for the 56 Olds 88 is out there too, and I'm sure my grandpa would sell if somebody made an offer. These would make pretty sweet hot rod motors.

That FNG is in NY, but maybe I'll message him about it later. I'd only want to sell the whole motor, as I don't want to dick around with rusted bolts or any **** like that.

What? I was referring to the guy who wanted a block as a FNG just like it says under his name. Is there a problem with that?

Didn't look that close. Just trying to help you make a buck and save a rare engine.
