Re: Jegs sbc advice
If you need a basic reliable motor, that one is a good choice. Bought the same thing years ago and it has done a good job. Mine went into a 75 C10.
Pretty sure that JEGS motor is a new one from Mexico.
Don't reuse that 35 year old damper. The rubber is at or near end of life.
Consider a new water pump unless your current one is fairly new. A lot easier to install when the engine is on a stand as opposed to in the truck.
Same for fuel pump.
Be sure to properly shim the starter while the engine is on the stand. Avoid that nasty gear grinding noise from a misaligned starter/flexplate combo followed a few months later by replacing the flex plate.
