Original 350...more than likely freshened up at some time in its past.

Yeah, I'm just now getting things together for it. There's some pics of how it sat at my Grandfather's house in a build thread, but I haven't got much done yet.

Re: Poll: Which engine powers your 67-72?

350 from a '72 4x4 in a '71 GMC longbed...does the trick, getting cleaner as I go. PO did the swap, I've been working on it for about 4 years and LOVE IT!
