Without giving me a hard time for not keeping this in my merc can someone give me and idea of what its worth. Its the original flathead out of my 49 merc. The only specs I know are that its a v8...around 105 hp and is made by fenton. I have the old trans too which I will probably sell with it. It runs fine and the trans works as well. I drove it around a bit before I swapped it out. Thanks for the help!
most street rodders end up giving that old junk away. try to find some young guy in your area who likes to tinker with that old stuff, maybe he can find a use for it in an old jalopy. or maybe you can ask this question on the main board where it might get a serious answer. this section is for questions and suggestions about the board itself, not questions in general, or didn't you read that in the rules before posting?
The Fenton heads if in good shape are worth $300+ depending. If the motor is good and the tranny has overdrive the unit is worth $1,000+ depending. This is based on my buying, selling, trading experience and I am NOT an expert, just an old flatheader so take this info for what it is worth. A lot of people would be interested in your setup in the proper forum I think.
