This item does not come with the cart.
This engine was obtained at an estate sale. It was in the process of being rebuilt.  There are two pistons in it.

The crankshaft is guaranteed not to be bent. The engine block is guaranteed to not be cracked. The engine block looks to be in good condition.

The distributor is included as shown. We did not test it and cannot guarantee it.

2 Pistons on one side of the engine have been removed along with all the hardware going back to the crankshaft. The cylinders look to be in good condition. I'm sure they need to be bored. No cracks and no broken fins. 

Two of the valve covers are missing. I have no idea about the condition of the valves or the valve seats. 

We obtained this through an estate sale. We do not have any information about the history of this engine. No log book information.
