Actually, that's not exactly it. But it sure seems like it. My plow truck having a very tired engine, and the fact that this month was supposed to be very snowy, and the fact that my garage is full, all led to this silly project:
That would be a low mile, good running Chevy 350 getting pulled out of my parts truck.
Then, it made its way into the basement (which was a terrible idea... SO much cleanup) where my brother and I stripped it down, cleaned everything up, and installed the accessories from the engine we pulled out of the plow truck
And then, once we'd got it dressed, back into the plow truck it went
That was a long, cold, but productive, weekend. The truck now runs great and has a vastly improved power reserve over the tired old 307 that came out. I still have odds and ends to fix - mostly re-routing some wires and muffler cementing the exhaust that now leaks like crazy - but it's close.
This weekend, I took off and went to visit some friends. I did, however, pick up a set of these for my Buick!
