I am looking at buying a complete core EAC engine for a project. The engine is a take out from a 1952 f-1 with a heavy duty 4 speed bolted to it. It is complete from fan to u-joint with merc carb. dist. starter, fuel pump, exhaust manifolds ect. Engine is not locked up it turns by hand. What would you estimate a fair price would be to pay for this engine? Thank you for any help!
