I am selling a Cragar Model B engine. This engine was built by my late father. It is on an engine stand and was running before he passed away in April. He removed the carburetors and put them back on the engine from which he borrowed them. The engine was running sometime after October 2019 and when he passed in April of this year. This is his written description of the engine:
