I have the motor out of the '42 ambulance I picked up several years ago sitting out of the truck. Last I checked it still turned over at least 2/3's of a revolution, I imagine the upper ends are a bit rusty. There was no water in the oil and everything appeared to be crack free.
If anyone is interested, email me and I can get details when I am at home.
Still has most of the accessories but the carb was gone when I got the truck. I can bring it to Fairfield in June if someone would like to make me an offer...nothing big, just to offset a little bit of diesel ;)
I hate to let it rust away or scrap it if someone could get some use out of it.
