Re: 64 BBW LWB Fleet... project

okay. a bit frustrated and maybe this should wait but i have a question.

So i drop the truck off at a shop because i want them to run through the engine and hook up the carb and throttle linkage for me. (BTW thanks to LILRED66. Perfect part. Cleaned up and everything)


Well go to drop the part off and he says one of his guys took a look at the engine and its not original and is off something later model. He used as his determining factor that it had an "integrated head." Now it has been a month since i looked under the hood and should probably go and take a look.






Question is this. do i try and make this "newer" engine work with my newly found linkage and make a runner even though i have never heard it running. or, as the guy at the shop says just try and find a late model truck with a 350/350 combo and drop that whole thing in there.

I am trying to just get a cheap farm truck running and take my time building what i want out of it.
