Andy,

I have a 1951 chevy with either a 216 or 235, manual floor shift tranny,
camplete torque tube and rear end.  I would sell the complete drivetrane.
Im going to put a chevy 305cid engine , auto tranny and Camaro rear end in
my truck so have no use for the original drivetrane.  The engine is 100%
complete and will turn over.  The previous owner had driven it into the
pasture under it's own power.  Let me know if you might be interested.

Anyone else interested may return an email.  I'm not apposed to parting it
out but would love to give someone the opprtunity to buy complete components
first.  See the links below for a picture of the engine.
