I bought a nice '71 shortbed that I'd say was worth $6-7k at the time, which was top dollar. Very nice including a rebuilt 402. It developed a rumble and ran rough so the owner was so disgusted he was selling it for $1500. I had a 454 to put in it and dress up as a 402, so I gladly bought it, $1200. I started unbolting the motor with the starter and bellhousing cover. I started on the torque converter bolts and found one missing and the rest were loose. I took care of that, put the starter back in, and fired it up. Ran like a clock, smooth and peppy!
