The CL ad had no photos and was titled "engines". Normally I don't even click on ads that are that lazy but for some reason I did. Called the old guy and he didn't know any history on it, he's just liquidating some barn-find/hoarding situation. He sent me a couple crappy pics that verified that it was actually a V8-60. I left home at 6am and got home a little after midnight.
I've wanted one of these for a couple decades but whenever I run across one it's either obviously junk or really overpriced. 163ci and 60hp is kind of hilarious but they do have a bit of a grandpa racer cred. Not sure if this one is even buildable or not yet but it'll look cool on a stand in the corner.
Also, this.

Tow dolly sold in 3 days for full price.
My old man has been chipping away at his pickup. New fenders, fuel tank, rockers, radiator arrangement, gauges and dash paint.
He's planning a dark metallic green over black fenders. I bought him a set of old school wheels but the offset was wrong so we're still hunting.
The '98 GMC developed a rod knock so we're considering a 383 upgrade.
Vibe keeps truckin' and gets a timing set replacement when it hits 300k in a month or two.
I'm still collecting parts for the 225 6spd swap from my TW.
Mostly, it's been fence posts and irrigation. And GBF sucks.

Dammit!
This thing has 237k on the odometer. If you're familiar with 90's GM cam/crank relearn procedure, you can probably do the math.

I didn't realize the old sbc had that procedure too. I've only ever done it on 99-newer LS style motors.
