Found the following link on the Model A section for an auction. While a majority of the cars and parts are Model A buried in the photos is a 32 with supposedly a 32 V8 plus a 32 engine. I am sure folks on this site can tell for sure. If I lived closer I would go to this auction, you never know what other things will go for. Most likely attract A guys who are not interested in the flathead stuff.

Hi Everyone, Anyone know Mike Torowus? It is advertised as his collection. The auction is in southern Jersey between Wilmington DE, and Vineland NJ. Date April 9. Open viewing April 8.

For sure there's photos of a '32 Tudor with a pretty original looking engine and bolt-ons (to my untrained eye).

Photos of what they're calling a 32 engine on a stand.

Also a Mullins trailer.

This is about a 1 hour drive for JM 35 Sedan!

That almost looks like the vertical petcock in the pic, and maybe a rib on a cast pan. Front of block looks pretty flat. DD

It is always hard to tell the details from photos (like whether these are 32 or 33 blocks), but a few things to note:

1) Car Engine: Definitely not a 32 intake, carb, generator or fuel pump - probably a 34 setup. The driver's exhaust manifold is not a 32 - so the oil pan may also be a later one (given the oil dip stick location).

2) Spare Engine: Definitely not a 32 distributor, looks like a late 32-33 fuel pump and the wire looms look to be later. The oil-pan is not the cast aluminum one, so it is probably a 33-34 stamped steel pan.

Yeah, that pan on the engine on the stand is a Late 32 or 33 stamped steel pan. If I saw the other side I could tell what year. The 33 dipstick points back a few degrees, the 32 is 90 degrees from the pan rail. I think that block is a 32. The one in the car could be 32 to 36 block.

Spare engine block does appear to be a '32 judging from the drain cock position. It would be nice if there were a photo of the left side of the spare engine to see if the steel oil pan is the ultra-rare late '32 pan or a run-of-the-mill '33 or '34 pan (there is a slight difference between the '33 and '34 pans).
