Finally got an engine

After my sellout of all my projects and parts to help family member last october I finally took First step on long way back.
Had 2 engines gave to me and my brother took both and made one.
Has 1992 block,1987 heads,and hooked to 1976 turbo 350 trans.
Had to use points distributor because I had one here and have no cash to spend on HEI.
Anyway,long story short ,it is running fine and has 60 psi oil pressure at idle and no blue smoke.
That is a big hurdle jumped
I sure am thankful to get these engines and make one run.

Good for you bud. A good engine is a solid starting point for any build. What have you got in mind for a project?

Looks good. I did not know that a 92 block had a hole in it for a mech. fuel pump. I"m using a 1990 + planning to use a carb. I hope I can do that. Thax for photo.

There ya go!!

You are on your way .....[cl

Even if it doesn't have a mechanical pump boss, you can still use an electric pump with a carburetor very easily.

The points distributor looks WAY better anyway. You can always upgrade to a Pertronix later as funds allow...

Thanks guys!
I am hoping to do another 27 T Woodie If I can get the dough lined up for lumber.
Something about woodies I like and I am not sure what it is [S
Maybe being raised at coast has something to do with it.
