so today my son was out mowing...he comes in and says "dad the neighbor wants to talk to you"

I'm like "what did you do?"

he said "nothing"

neighbor says "I have a 350 engine just sitting in my garage, you or someone you know want it?"

I said "yes, I will take it!"

he said they had it in a 78 pontiac car, I figured it was a BOP, said I would take it anyway. he asked me if I wanted to see it I said sure....
go look and it is a complete (oil pan to carb, flywheel to fan) CHEVY 350!!
he said he bought a short block, put it in the car, and put somewhere between 40-50K on it and it popped a freeze plug out so they pulled it out and put a 400 in it...
I called Scott to share my good news, ran to Harbor Freight and got an engine stand, Scott came over and we put it on the stand in the neighbor's garage and pushed it down his drive, across the sidewalk and up my drive into my garage...
here are some pics












he said even the carb was new when they put the short block in.
not sure how long it was stored in their garage....but I looked in the dist hole and the valley is very clean.
I'm gonna pull the valve covers and the oil pan to see what it all looks like..
as you can see it has the alternator, a/c compressor, and even the p/s pump
It made my day!!
I just had to share
