Probably just revving us up.

Next someone will claim they have a Y block with the distributor at the front.🙀🤥


Thanks, Dennis.

So where are the photos? I'm beginning to be a bit skeptical that there even is an engine.

That is probably it.  That's a cool motor to get, in running condition, for $50.

sounds like it might be an old Chrysler Poly motor, 318 (US) or 313 (CDN)

If it's a running Hemi, then $50 was a screaming deal.

Are you sure it's a Ford?    The old Dodge hemi's in the trucks used 3 big screws in the center to hold the covers over the plug wires.  

Here I think I found it!

The terms seem interchangeable, though (according to my dictionary) ‘jerry-built’ came first. We are the product of our early environment. I’ll bet (like me) you used to think Porsche was a one syllable word?

If my name was "Jerry" I would take exception. I always thought it was "Jury Rigged", Around here thats more likely.

I cannot think of anything that has 3 bolt valve covers, looking forward to a picture

Could the middle bolt be some kind of ‘jerry-rigged’ aftermarket rocker assembly oilers? Have you removed a cover yet to inspect the valve gear?
