I had some trouble posting the pictures but they can be seen from a previous post of mine.

I am selling the engine and trans separate or together.  I will part the engine though I would rather sell the whole shebang.  I am asking for any offer.  It would have to be picked up...unless parted.

I pulled this last year and then for health reasons had to put my projects on hold.  This drivetrain is not a basketcase, but should be gone through.  I can send more pictures if interested.

I am in Tucson AZ.  And that is the Engine and transmission I am selling...or wanting to.

Ted you can just drop down the 35 then take 10 all the way in.Smile 

I am really wanting this gone, I downsized houses and do not have space ,or desire to create some, for projects I will not get to.  I am doing a frame off on a 1955 Victoria with post 57 drivetrain and have no use for the pre-55 Merc engine or Ford-O. 

Let me know what you may think, I am not firm on any position other than it should find a home where it can be used.

Just to clear up any possible confusion.  I bought a 1955 Ford Victoria, but somewhere along the way it had a 1954 Merc Engine and a early Ford-O put in it.  When I bought it from "Jose", I knew I wanted the body, frame, etc. and would be pulling the drivetrain.  After getting the body soda blasted, one can see where "Jose" and his friends had done some "work" before.  But the car was still slated for resto, and work has begun.  Frame off as I type, new sheet metal placed where needed, all is going well there.  I have not begun the drivetrain yet but decided on a post 57 Y and will be putting a AOD behind it.

So that left me with the 256 and the Ford-O, or the combo described by "Jose" as a 312 with a C-4.  You meet all kinds here on the border.  I thought I'd find something to use this engine for or just rebuild it all and sell it later at an event.  Moved to a smaller house in a better location, so the maybe projects had to go.  This engine and trans was a maybe project and not a current one.
