Re: My newest and perhaps greatest truck score to date
Out cruising to a local brewery. Was able to burn enough of the old gas out of it and refill with fresh. Runs and smells a lot better...

Re: My newest and perhaps greatest truck score to date
Looks to be a later model replacement engine with the center bolt valve covers...LT1, I think ? That could explain the need for an electric pump. The engine may not have been assembled for a mechanical pump ?
For as much as the engine bay seems to have been messed with, it is amazing all the paperwork was still in the glove box !! Hope you replaced the shift shaft seal on the trans too, they leak when the vehicle sits and fluid drains back from the converter. A slow leak will migrate along the pan rail and make it appear it is a pan gasket leaking. |

Re: My newest and perhaps greatest truck score to date
It’s the original engine. The late owner switched the heads for 80’s center bolt heads with hardened valve seats for whatever reason. I still need to retrieve the original parts from the garage.
The pushrod for the mechanical pump is seized. I tried to put it back to mechanical but couldn’t free it up. Ended up putting a different electric pump on and relocating it.
