I picked up the 250 today, everything went fine. Next step is to build the run stand and see if will run.
I have a second one that is an unknown as well, I got it from a friend who said it ran perfect when they pulled it to put a 350 in it but they let it sit outside for three months this summer before it was given to me... (*sigh*) The next one in line is the one that had all the lifters tapping but the mechanic couldn't find anything wrong with it. I will put it back together and see what I can come up with there. The first one is a really fresh rebuild but has a bad bearing and burned valve, and possibly a cracked head.
New engine on the truck:
The 4bbl Intake
I am looking forward to cleaning these out one at a time! I would *like* to have one good, tested running engine sitting there for me to use for whenever I build my next project and that is it.
At least they are taken care of
