I have a 239 Y-block for sale that came in the 1956 Tbird I bought. (I was told it was a 292). It was running when I pulled it to replace it with a real 292, although not running that well. When I removed the valve covers to put on the new 292, I noticed one of the pushrods had slipped off the rocker arm. I was able to pull it out and confirm it was not broken. The block numbers indicate this came from a 1954 Ford passenger car. I would describe what I have as a long block as that is what they called the 292 I bought. The intake, valley pan, valve covers, oil pan, fuel pump, distributer, etc. are not included. Some of the photos show the distributor cap and plug wires, but I figured nobody would want them so I tossed them. I might have saved the fuel pump and oil pump when I replaced them, if you want them and I can find them you can have them. The engine is currently bolted to the pallet my new engine came on as I figured that might help in transporting it. In addition to the attached photos, here is a link to a video of the engine running before I removed it:

I don't want to scrap this engine, but I will have to get rid of it at some time. Should I remove the heads in case someone would want them in the future? I might have room to hold on to them until I find a home for them.
