I posted a few months ago about the wagon I inherited, looks like I need a straight eight engine.

The engine is back together with rebuilt carburetor and fuel pump, the fuel tank was bad so went to a marine fabricator and had an aluminum tank made but now the sender is frozen ,does any one know of a sender for a 53 wagon. Thanks

Well we freed the engine up but it has 2 stuck valves that should not be a problem, I do need a fuel tank and fuel pump and master cylinder. I have ordered the head gasket and tstat housing gasket. one step at a time. Thanks

I have just been left a 1953 Pontiac Chieftain wagon that has been in a barn for about 25 years, we hauled it out and the straight 8 is locked up, will a 53 Pontiac 6 bolt in ? The 6 had a 3 speed and mine has an automatic. We have tried to free up the 8 but have had no luck.
