Been wallering around with this lump until I'm just about wore out. The engine and trans was pulled from a running car (dad's '72 Challenger that younger brother rolled) 3 years ago and has been in a heated garage ever since. The engine is complete from air cleaner to oil pan, has the alternator, power steering pump, clutch fan, belts, hoses, all brackets, points distributor, coil, etc. The only thing missing is the starter and I have a feeling it wound up in the '73 Roadrunner on the other side of the garage. Pulled the valve covers and it has J heads. The transmission is just as complete. It's all there right down to the kickdown linkage and the floor shifter bracket. Looks like I could drop these in a car, top off the fluids, and drive away. Everything turns, twists, snaps back and generally behaves like it is supposed to. Based on the J heads, points ignition, and the big assed 2 barrel carb, I think this beast is a '71. Gonna need to wire brush a little more grunge to make sure. Hope it is since they will take more overbore than a normal 360. I don't think I got hurt in this deal since all I'm really interested in is the block and that leaves a lot of good parts to make my money back on...
