The car runs and drives. It is registered and insured. I've put about 200 miles on it in the last 6 months. I bought it as is in 2008 for the motor. I planed to remove the motor and put it in my Cobra. Put a 390 back in the Mercury and sell it. Plans have changed and I am selling it as is. I know nothing about the motor. I have verified it is a 1968 side oiler, block C8AE-A with external bumps on the side of the block for
oil passages. Screw in freeze plugs and set screw caping the
