The 251 Spitfire motor is a COMPLETE, running motor with all accessories, starter, generator, distributor, coil, wire harnesses, water pump, fuel pump, oil filler, intake & exhaust manifolds, carburetor, bellhousing, good clutch, and clutch pedal. The 4 speed transmission, from the same PW, is also included, minus the PTO mounting cover on the driver’s side. There is no PTO. The serial number on the motor is 851-33082, and it came from a 1954 Flatfender PW with VIN: 51824321. The engine is painted yellow and is most likely a replacement engine for this truck, the head is 25" long. The cast “Spitfire” and lightning bolts are clearly visible on the head. It runs strong and will come with exhaust pipe/ muffler assembly. The trans is most likely a first-gen New Process, with a casting number from 1945. It will be sold as an entire assembly, and the buyer will pay shipping, or arrangements can be made if you live within the area. It is located in Hartford, CT. I am looking to get $900.00 for the motor and trans. The motor will fit into a Dodge Power Wagon, M-37, M-43, or WC series truck.

I wanted to give everyone on the forum a shot at it, if interested, before it goes on e-Bay.
