Fresh Pro Built Stroked 340

Mackin used Fedex and the crate was listed at 500#. I picked it up at the locak Fedex facility - they loaded the crate in back of my PU truck.

That crate Mackin made was a real gem! Packin Mackin!!! It was sturdy as can be and took the ride well, but when the straps were cut the sides came apart easily as assemblies and I just used a come-along to lift the engine/stand/crate bottom off the bed of my truck and drove out from under it. Lowered the assy onto some cinder blocks and now it makes a good workstation.

Already pulled the heads to get the valve spring tensions checked (sat 3 years with the rockers bolted tight) and the ported heads flowed.

BTW, Mackin has a 833 4sp with bell housing and all the stuff to convert an auto A body to 4 speed. I didn't neeed the 4sp stuff so it stayed there.
