Default Painted 1954 #21 engine
Project for this morning - been working and prepping this block all week
Engine was rebuilt
This is the engine for 1954 #21
Built first week of 1954
Block is correct dated Oct 1953 and the adapter plate is Dec 1953 - note the date codes - Late 1953
Head is a correct 241
Thought you would like a sneak peak
Single stage paint
Over restored probably.....
