Show us your SURVIVOR ENGINE pictures

[Steve Hafner]

. . . .

I'd like to see some engine pictures from low milage, survivor trucks.

I'll start it off with a picture of that blue, 1970 C-10 with 80 miles.
( you can't get much more original then that )

she runs like a top after sitting to a decade.

Steve, your big block reference pic is a great one - actually shows a clear shot of the CA emissions crap intact, ON an a/c truck, and WITHOUT all the a/c stuff in the way. Valuable shot for a restorer - thanks for posting.

love these type of pics. Engine bays how they should be not a bunch of plastic hoods and crap all over. No wonder todays stuff needs high tech machines and engineers to fix.

Except that you don't need to fix it... no carbs to rebuild, no mixtures to adjust, no choke to mess up, no condensor or rotor and no points to burn out, plugs and caps last 100,000 miles. But I'm with you on the plastic cover stuff. I never really understood the ZR1's plastic window for looking at a plastic engine cover!

Well you just basically listed all the things that can go wrong lol. All IMHO are minor. Wait until you have to get down and dirty on something that has a sensor and relay for everything and its all tied together by a computer that would make NASA jealous. Modern vehicles definitely have their place but I hate working on them. I was born in the wrong era. I would have loved to be a mechanic in the 50 60 70's.

my 307 cu in (5.0 L) V8

[FirstOwner69]

My 69 in CST/20. All original at 118,713 miles. Picture taken during tear down process. That's masking tape on the left valve cover. Note that 3/4 tons did not have as much emissions equipment even though this was a California truck.
