Pat, you have helped me make up my mind. I’m not going to run it again with the engine that’s in the car. 😉

Good choice Mikey! I need someone here to give me good advise 🙄 I just came back from VB’s neck of the wood with a POS chevy truck. I only wanted the bed a short fleetside that I’m putting on my crew cab dually that I’m also making a single rear wheel. I’ll never learn.

Pete, even though I’m still not feeling that great, getting out in the garage and working on the new engine makes me very happy. I’m really looking forward to hearing this engine run, and it will before I put it in the “Toy”. …………….Mikey

The old motor is out, and the parts I needed off it are off the engine and waiting to be cleaned. They are: Intake and heads, flywheel, distributor, Crank Trigger Wheel, and the pulley for the alternator. Old engine is under my work table on a wheeled engine dolly next to what will be a 383 I’m building for a friend. here are some pics of my progress.

P.S. Could only load ten pictures, I’ll make another post.
