Looks to be an early (pre-8BA) block with later heads. Might be a good deal or not; used "speed parts" can be notably "iffy". If you can hear it run (even with a cracked block) it would make a big difference.

Sorta looks like an 8BA with the bell housing split.

You're probably right; I didn't bother blowing up the picture. I should have.

Somehow, it seems that if that engine was in good running condition it would have been better cared for when stored. Don't pay more than $100.

No not buying. Someone out west has an early flathead (32-33) and they're asking CAN$3,300! D'oh.
