It runs and drives great. Just smokes a bit. I think it’s the valve seals.

Got it into the driveway where it will sit for a bit. This summer we’ll do brakes, coolant, and tires.
The smoke might clear up after it runs for a bit. We pulled a 94 Full size Blazer out of a farmers field with 150K on the odometer that had been sitting for 5+ years. After a few heat cycles the smoke cleared right up. I was pleasantly surprised.

Your son must be excited.
