Thanks,
It's a '55 292 block with 5752-113 heads from '58 and intake from '57, built for my '55 T-Bird.
To replace the '54 Merc 256 some 'clown' had put in.
Found it in Phoenix Arizona, just removed from a '57 T-Bird for pretending to be a 312.

Thank you all very much, I really appreciate it.
After 6+ years of it sitting in the garage (until '19) I got tired of only working on it... so I got it driveable but there is still a long to-do list.
My wife wanted a yellow car and we picked up a '57 Bird that I promptly tore apart (bad oil pressure and needs a re-paint) so I'm getting even farther behind.
With the virus shutdowns this past year and wife not being well I've lost some motivation and need to get it all going again.

You should - I have both light and a gauge in my 54 (312
