your research is wrong. That is a buick engine. Cant tell what size from the front as all buick engines look very similar from that angle. Chev, olds, and pontiac have the distributor in the back. Buick, cadilac and fords have the distributor in the front. As far as the value of the truck, I would put it at whatever the box is worth. Anyone that would drop a buick engine between the framerails, and walk away from the project, has probably hacked the rest of the truck as well.

I agree about the Buick engine. I noticed that at first but I didn't think that cap was on the distributor. It looked like it is just sitting there.

If this is the case, run away from this one as fast as you can. If you can hold out, you should be able to find one around $1,000 that you could at least drive around while you fix it up. If you sunk $1,000 into this jewel it still wouldn't be able to see the road. It's worth $400 , but it sounds like you need some wheels ,and if this is the case, I do not think its a good deal. This one is not worth the gas to go look at it. JMO
