The Ford Barn

I wasn't paying attention I pulled the 272 out of my '55--forgot to unbolt it where the bracket bolts to the back of the block and broke the bracket. Does anybody have a decent on a parts car? I know '55 and '56 V8 cars are the same, probably '54 V8 as well. This is the bell crank thing--the part that points down has the rod that goes up through the toeboard and has the button that the accelerator pedal attaches to. The linkage to the carb attaches to the part that points up.

If this is the broken part (see attached photo), I have an extra one

Please measure between top rivet and center of large round collar where end of bellcrank goes in. (They made different lengths, 54/55/56 are same, but 57/58/59 have a longer spring-steel piece. I have both.

The one that Patrick posted is the right one. I broke the bracket that bolts to the top of the block behind the intake.
