Its not a powerhouse, but it will be fun. I can see its not a virgin, stock engine. The block is 70s and the heads are 80s p-port. The block has been resurfaced and the #code is gone.
It will transform this old truck into quite a cruiser
They guy said its a runner. When he spun it over ,it hissed like a bag of snakes
I need a few things ,if yall have access. Intake and exhaust manifolds being the 2 main things.
.................Update.................
I tore it down yesterday after seeimg some trash in the intake ports and one intake valve had a hint of rust. That cylinder had about an ounce of fluid on the piston, but it looks ok inside.
The block was resurfaced and the flat top hyper pistons are .028 down. It had what looked like a Mahle head gasket. Appx .040ish ,which make it a smidge above 8:1 compression with the current heads. .068 quench
Im gonna cut .020 off that with a Mahle .020 gasket to get a better quench of .048. Maybe even .046 with an .018 steel.
The heads look pretty good. Im gonna break em down for a good scrub & inspection.. Probably blend the bowls, fresh lap on the valves, new seals and check the springs .
