Re: 1953 eac mercury engine value
$1000 is too much to gamble on that engine. Wait 6 mos. and contact seller again.

Re: 1953 eac mercury engine value
Wasn't there some talk recently that the oil pick up tube sells for 400 bucks?

Re: 1953 eac mercury engine value
Gee, the magnafluxed crack free, stock bore 8BA block with .010 Merc crank and complete 50 Merc rear sump oil pan with 50 merc stamped steel bellhousing and starter plate I've had sitting in my garage for the past 43 years must be worth a million dollars? Better than buying a CD.

Re: 1953 eac mercury engine value
Kind of depends on need of buyer, flatheads getting pretty scarce these days. My friend bought one from a 53 Mercury 4 dr. body very rusty, to rusty to drive on gravel 30 years ago. Helped him install in F6 MH wrecker. The truck was never worked hard. It sold last year at auction. I would have bought but didn't have room inside for it. The engine had never been apart, we knew the Mercury owners son. Pretty sure it was running when it left the sale. I should have bought the thing and added to the building. Hindsight is a curse. 53 to 22. I still drive a newer Mercury. Anyway, base need on availability.

Re: 1953 eac mercury engine value
About 30 years ago I was given a merc engine that had some cracks in the deck. The guy's dad had it rebuilt and he installed it in a COE truck. On the maiden voyage a hose clamp wasn't tightened and it overheated. The COE got a smallblock. The merc went into a chicken coop for storage until given to me. I used the 4" crank right away and the valve assembly with johnson lifters a couple years later. Now you got me wondering what else of value might be left.

Re: 1953 eac mercury engine value
These are all crack free. Cleaned and sonic checked. At the value some on this thread believe they are worth I may need to hire a security guard.

Re: 1953 eac mercury engine value
I think 1951 Merc water pumps are going up in value. Hard to find.

Re: 1953 eac mercury engine value
The one on left I have owned for over 50 years so it’s a keeper. Those others I will build into running engines and sell. But at my age every thing is for sale.

Re: 1953 eac mercury engine value
I have been in contact with the O/P and engine has been stored inside. Also, it's located in a state where it doesn't freeze in the winter.
