53windsor

The cut off Speedo cable was a red flag for sure. I'm going to pass. Thanks for weighing in.

You're right. I don't _need_ it, and don't feel like it's worth the gamble at this point. But just for fun, can we place a year on this thing?

I hoped it would be easy, but we all know how that goes. Here are the rest of the pics from the ad. I appreciate the help!

I'm looking at a spare m6 (?) Transmission here on the local Craigslist. Is this part# appropriate for a 1953 Windsor? The ad says 49-53 but I thought I better double check.

Mine does the same thing. I hope it's normal.

Yes, the oil pan should come out while in the car. But first check on this guy.

Bought an engine from a 48 desoto to swap into my 53 Windsor. Its a 25" block, so should drop right in, but the exhaust is a little weird and I can't seem to find one like it. Truck maybe? Sorry about the upside down photo.

I paid a shop way too much to repair my rear main seal. I expected they would remove the engine. Turns out all they did was remove the oil pan, drop the rear main, and replace only the bottom half of the seal. Still leaks. Then they told me my fluid drive/ semi auto trans was a 3 on the tree, and that you have to remove the intake and exhaust to adjust the valves. I'll be doing all my own repairs from now on.

I would be interested in the engine you just pulled. I'm local, have cash, and a truck!
