it's a 350 and everything is stock except for the Carter carb and K&N air filter.....I might be on to something though...the exaust manifolds are completely shot and there are a few exaust leaks now......also about a year ago before it sat for a year.....the water pump went out and the engine overheated to the point that it shut itself down and then when I lifted the hood, steam was coming out around the edges of the intake.....so I'm wondering if this too had something to do with it....but that's the history of bad in the last 6 years I've had it......Oh yeah....I burned out about 3 gallons of desile fuel 5 years ago......didn't do any harm though....just alot of smoke.....I'll tell ya guys.....I'm closer and closer to putting in that rebuilt Olds 350 longblock....but I' don't know what I need in terms of mounts for engine and pumps and alternator.
