I don’t think I’m going to invest any time or money into this engine, the rest of the cylinders look nearly the same, and I‘ve only pulled one head. I’ll probably pull and donate it to the local machine shop as they trade me cores for labor. A couple hundred bucks on CL or Marketplace will buy a running take out 4.8L or 5.3L, and I’ve already got all the carb swap components that I decided not to use on the ‘78 build, I think I’ll use them here. Should make for a pretty cheap build, as I just need another set of DD mounts, flexplate spacer, H3 oil pan, and manifolds to get one dropped in.
Yeahhh, that door pocket has become the hardware drawer for all the still-missing interior pieces.
