Frank,

If he wants to find a good home for the Crosley engine, I'd suggest he post in 
on the "H Modified" page on the following forum:

http://p081.ezboard.com/bdsrforum

Crosley engines were used in many H Modified racers back in the 50's and 60's.  
A number of these cars are still active in vintage racing, and I'd imagine that 
a complete Crosley engine would be of some value to the folks still running 
these cars.

Tonight I was asked to go "raid" the garage of a friend of my son's 
grandfather.
We came home with a T bird Y8 (not a V8) an old ford flat head that 
looks like it will fire up, rebuilt way back when and never started.
And a Crosley 4 banger complete with carb, dizzy, and starter!
An old wooden air plane prop, some cool huge 4 spoke wooden steering 
wheels, REAL USA made tools, battery chargers, drill press, misc garage 
tools, and I found a Judson ignition gizmo, not sure what it is yet.
If anyone wants to buy an old engine, let me know, I'll put you in touch 
with Matt.
Matt's grandfather is not up to working out in the shop and gave Matt 
anything he wanted. I was the token Old fart to explain what some of the 
stuff was to the kids. Like the City Service road map, the ridge reamer, 
bearing driver tool, tire chains, and centrifical clutch.
The old guy's brother who died a few years back was a pilot and had 
several of his own planes, thus the mountain of old airplane stuff like 
gauges, safty wire drilled bolts, and funky spark plugs.
Interesting evening with some great finds. Not that I took anything 
except the Judson gizmo, but Matt lives 1/2 way down my block and I get 
to borrow any/all the cool old tools :)
