A Sort of Box...
has made it's way into the shop.
 Picked up my crate engine today and krazy_texan and a friend helped me unload it. Now to detail it out and get all the little pieces to get it into the truck. I'm getting the turbo350 rebuilt, so I should be good on the drivetrain pretty soon.

Nice, I am longing for the day I can have a crate engine on the stand ready to go in my junk.

Re: A Sort of Box...
Meathead. Standard GM crate, 260 HP/350.
I decided to leave it sealed for the moment because I am still cleaning some other pieces for the engine, plus I am going to be laid up for a week or two so it may not get in there as fast as I would like. I also have to get the tranny rebuilt which will delay the start and run time.
