Re: For Sale, completely rebuilt Ford Flathead engine

Hello, this sale is for a completely rebuilt 1951, 8BA Ford Flathead engine.
I rebuilt this engine for a 1932 Chevy 5 window coupe, but after building the engine many people encouraged me to not put this engine in a Chevy. And after gathering parts for this 1932 Chevy for two to three years relieved I should make this beautiful 1932 Chevy look original.

So now you have a chance to enjoy this great looking engine and well known 700-R4 transmission in your old car. I have more moneys into this engine than I’m asking for and if you know what it takes to do this engine the way it looks and runs you will agree.

If you have any questions about this engine and transmission feel free to e-mail rsetterlund@bis.midco.net or call 701-989-0017. This engine can be purchased by itself for $7,900,,,, $10,250 OBO for both engine and 700-R4 transmission.
