Stan,
Is there some small block power magic inside?

Not a ton but a little. Slightly built up cam, Weiand intake manifold with an Edelbrock carb sitting on it, Petronix Flame Thrower ignition, The headers and Cherry bomb mufflers. I also have a Tremec 5 speed overdrive transmission bolted to it. Not sure what all that does for me. When I bought the original crate engine the builder said it should make around 320 horsepower with this set up. I’ve never Dynoed it or anything, but that short bet will try and get in front of you real fast if you get into it hard. At least that’s what they tell me. 😋

Moving kind of slow on this, but it is all bolted in and ready to rock. I’ve had a little starter trouble, both on the truck and myself. 😋.
I need to get the front clip with the radiator bolted on so I can get it started and run for tuning tuned and break in. Here’s how it sits right now.  Is it just me or does that 350 look kind of small in there?  |

Stan, I'm glad you are having your 2nd childhood like me. Or is it my 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th--------------
 You can't always just drive Jeeps. Got to have variety. Now if you haul your Jeep with it, imagine your gas station stops. They won't let you pull away. Red Willy went to a enclosed trailer so he can sneak in and out of those stops. I can hear the questions already. What year is it?, how long have you owned it, is it for sale, on and on. Oilly

Well, I got it all in. Need to clean up the wiring some, but everything is connected.
 Here's an Instagram video of the first start up. It starts and runs ok, but sounds a little rattily. I checked the timing and it is way advanced. I'll need to pull the dizzy and move it a tooth. I can't turn it any more retarded because the vacuum advance canister hits against the firewall.  |

That rear distributor is what keeps me from liking Chebies as much as I might.
The original wiring harness was wrapped in electrical tape. Easy to replicate if you want to make it look both neat and semi original.

Yup, when I first bought this crate motor about 10 years ago, it came with a brand new hei dizzy. It won't fit without a giant hole in the firewall. So I put the old points dizzy in from the original motor. I now have petronix guts in it, but still... The HEI sits on a shelf and teases me from time to time.

Hopefully that pertronix kit has a rev limiter. I have a '63 Nova with a 350 and did this old Crane electronic ignition conversion that my neighbor gave me and it has a built in rev limiter. My Nova is a manual too, and it really helps avoid over-reving. I think FAST bought out Crane and still sells them. We have pine floors in our house that look just like your new bed. They seem very durable. Our house was built in '29, so maybe the pine was a little harder back then, but I'm sure it will work great in your truck.
