our 67 GMC powered with a 57' engine
Well I bought a power plant for the wifes 67 GMC project. It's an original but rebuilt 283 from a 57 Chevy Bel Air. It only has 300 Miles on the rebuild, and I know the rebuild was done properly because a buddy of mine is the one that did it

Yeah, he broke the engine in after the rebuild and then decided to swap it out for a crate engine. The only thing this 283 is missing is the distributor and wires. But it's gonna have HEI on it anyways
