Hi Mike,I live in the bay area of California and don't see how I could swing by to pick it up or even ship it here but, I would ask if you would consider removing and sending a part from your engine. I would be glad to pay for your time, trouble and shipping.
I have an original 54 239 in a 54 F250 that leaks excessively at the rear main seal. After tearing it down, I found the seal retainer is distorted at both verticle sides of the retainer. I have looked everywhere for this part and connot find one.
If your engine is still available and you consider the rquest, I would be extremely greatful, and will able to reassemble my engine and get it back on the road. I can walk you through how to access this part if needed.
Best regards,
Dennis
