Same basic engines; the TD's and first year (1954) TF's were designated "XPAG" and were 1250 cc's, while the second, and last, year TF's got a bored-out (1500 cc) engine, designated "XPEG".
You say the TF engine looks the best. Any idea of its condition, or the condition of the others?

they are both 1250s with the main difference being the ring gear and clutch. you will need to switch out the water inlet at the head, as a tf uses a thermostat in the head.
the tf 1500 will mostly have the same changes.

I will have a TD engine that I will part, with but it is in CA and it will be a year before I get it to VA.

I am in California now, but soon to be in WV soon.
The very early TDs had a smaller flywheel with a 7 1/4 inch clutch. The gearbox associated with that engine has a smaller bell housing and input shaft which will not accommodate the later clutch. Those engines carried an engine number of XPAG/TD nnnn, where nnnn is a number less than about 9800.
From TD engines with engine number XPAG/TD2 nnnnn, the flywheel and clutch were changed to an 8 inch clutch, and the gearbox was changed to accommodate this. All later TD and TF engines, even the XPEG, will fit the later gearbox. The only other difference is, of course, the thermostat housing and radiator connection, which can be easily changed.
I know, as I have done it.
