Default engines need a new home.

I have a couple large engines that need a home due to storage limitations.
One engine is a superior and the other is an Ajax.
Both engines are the later model style that have radiators and closed crankcases.
The superior has a 4 ft flywheel, and a 560 cid in one horizontal cylinder
The ajax has a 4 ft flywheel and a 440 cid in one horizontal cylinder.
the superior weights aprox 4200 lbs
the ajax weights every bit of 5500 I would say.
both engines are complete with the exceptions of a few belts and hoses.
The superior is missing the mag,
both engines are stuck. I saved them from the scrap man, cannot handle seeing engines go to the scrap God.
I can send pics to whoever is interested if serious.
thanks guys and thanks Harry.

If I had something a little beefier than my little 3500# trailer I'd consider a road-trip.....
Sound like a couple of interesting projects.

I can only haul one at a time myself, my trailer is a tandem with 3500# axles.
