That sounds about right. I think the previous owner had swapped it into his '65 Chevy truck. It was painted blue when I got it, but you can see the orange under the blue paint.
My plan at this point is to take the motor down to the short block and inspect everything. If all looks good, then I will just do a complete gasket refresh on it and then put new valve stem seals on it and run it as long as I can. That will allow me to put more money into the body and stuff. I am also going to swap the 327 intake onto the 350 to at least make it look like a 327. I have later model valve covers with holes in them so that should take care of the breather / PCV issues as well. Ideally I will find a 327 in the future, but for now the 350 will get the truck moving.
Thanks, Clay
