Don Garlits has an untouched block in the Ford crate. Give him a call - maybe he will sell it to you.

I think somewhere I may have some 24 bolt aluminum Canadian "cheater" heads in the original boxes. That's about it.

I would think you'd have to do machine work on even a "virgin" block.

Back in 06, I spent a few weeks out in Denver with Paul Garagan (Rumbleseat).
We went all over the place and met abunch of people. At one sgop we met a retired Ford dealer, that restored old Fords. He had more original parts than I could count. Everything including several short blocks. Everything was orginized and that included Rods pistons and crankshafts. Then we went into another shed wit all the bidy parts. I wonder what happened to all that?

Are you asking just to see what they look like, see if they existed . . . or are trying to build a engine from NOS parts (yourself)? I don't quite get the context of the questions?

I bought a WWII 99A block for my 32 Cabriolet project. It had been assembled and probably broken in before being put into a crate/box. I bought it and only had the block and pulleys sent to me (didn't want the crank, rods, etc).

Anyway, here is a picture of it after I received it - was cleaned, baked and ready to be worked on:

Here it is after a lot of work:

I'm curious to know if there are any complete NOS unassembled collections anywhere? Possibly on display in a private collection, or a museum. RAY
