When was that 1953???
I started driving in 1988 and at that time we had several P-4's and a P-8 that were made in the early 50's.
My first peak season I was in a P-4 that threw a connecting rod. Back then, all of the cars had the Ford 300-cubic inch straight 6 engine, and we had entire replacement engines sitting on pallets in the shop. They had the car towed back....and I drove the damn thing again the very next day with a new motor in it. They could remove and replace an entire engine block in 4 or 5 hours tops.
