It's what I need, but it says local pick up and I live in Arizona. I have a 6 cylinder that I am going to install now. I just thought I would rebuild the 4 cylinder for a future project.

Corsairdeluxe - 4 cyl Not a 1938 design but a 1928! As such it should be compared to the Model A Ford engine. Barney Roos did refine the design in the late 1930s, but it still has ridiculously long conn rods.
The 4 cyl parts are still easy to find while the 6 cylinder parts aren't. How hard are you going to drive it?

It will never hit 55. I will only be using it around town on surface streets and no long hauls.
