Ford 60
 

I have a Ford 60 offered to me but I have no idea as to what I should pay for it or what it would be worth. I have a few parts left over from my 53 and have no clue if any of the 239 parts will even fit.
Any info appreciated
Tom

it depends a lot on condition which isn't explained in your post. is it a running engine? is it a bare block? not too many parts interchange with the later flatty. i bought a good rebuilt 60 years ago for 1200.00 and it had about 1,000 miles on a fresh rebuild and was mounted on a homemade stand with gauges, etc.. i also seen one go for 5,000 completely rebuilt with goodies. if it is complete and the block has been fluxed and inspected i would pay 1200 for it. if it is built and running maybe 2500. thats just my opinion, others will have different ideas. if it is just a bare block, tested and inspected i wouldn't pay more than 600 myself. maybe if you provide more info we can narrow it down better.

The year is also important, as the 1940 is the most sought after with improvements over the earlier ones. The '40 was very popular in midgets.

A better question would be what are you going to do with it? They are only 136 cubic inches and don't produce much power.

It is just a used engine, no carb or exhaust man. No idea what year. I was just going to put in on my test stand and just get it to run for the fun of it. My cars are all done.
Thanks
