The Ford Barn - View Single Post

A friend of mine mentioned to me that he learned that a new home owner in his area had a Model A engine that was left in his barn. Who doesn't want a spare? He even offers to bring to my house on his trailer. So I went to the barn with him and the engine was complete, less starter, generator, manifold and flywheel with a fair amount of Ford green paint. So we pulled it up on the trailer and now it is in my garage.

Now for the turkey! It is a very early, June 1928, #A218030 with the round flange on the crank case. My past interests have been with 1930 & 1931. Am I going to have a tough time finding a new home for this motor? Ed
