and out jumped the motor

As some may remember, I bought this Blazer about 3 years ago and have been focusing on the 69 K20 so this one has sat waiting. I believe it hasn't been driven in about 9 years. I fired the motor up about 2 years ago and it gushed oil from the rear main seal. I was going to move the engine crossmember and replace the rear main seal with the engine installed but decided I would be time ahead to just pull the motor and have it looked at.

It is a 400 small block and for some reason someone put 62-64 327 heads on it with 60cc - I'm assuming those are probably choking the motor. I took the motor to an engine guy today and he is going to tear into it then give me a call to advise of the motors condition.
