About the engine.... It was in a 79 Chevy Big Ten Silverado my Dad bought new. At about 80K miles it started to smoke a little so my Dad buys a crate engine and we swap it out. His truck was running fine and I got the old 350 engine, it's been sitting in the shop ever since. It's a 4 bolt main and I have all the stuff to rebuild it sitting in the shop. New rods, pistons , rings etc. just send the block out to be freshened up with the heads and put her back together. Then I'll send the tranny out.
