Default Looking for a little knowledge

When I obtained my 1957 Thunderbird it had a 292 motor,with a 3 speed manual transmission.

As I started to work on the car,and spend money on the car ,thing just started to snowball.

Before long I had the engine out and the block being boiled out ,and then the block was bored out 60 over,,the heads redone etc..you all get the picture.

Enter the wife. What's that? Me,that's a stick shift.

Wife,are you telling me that after spending all this money,I will not be able to drive this car.

So now after finding a complete engine and transmission out of a 1957 Thunderbird, and rebuilding both,I have no need for a few "extra"parts.

I have a 292 bored 60 over block,with the crank,cam,bellhousing,pressure plate,clutch disc,clutch petal linkage and two incomplete heads. They were done more then ten years ago and now have some surface rust from siting on the shelve.i do not have the oilpan,nor the valley pan.

I was wondering if a few of you had bought or sold anything similar, and could give me some idea of what it is worth. Getting tired of moving it.

Thanks,Patrick
