Went out to start up the parts truck (Orange Crush) and checked the radiator. Solid green-brown ice. Nice. The lower hose was solid as were the heater hoses. None of the freeze plugs were popped though. After a little assistance from a propane torch the hoses were thawed enough to be squeezable. Started up after a few pumps then plowed the driveway with Pikes Peak hillclimb tires. It was about 10F for the past few days here and I was worried the block would freeze since I'm trying to sell it.

Anyone need a late-model smallblock? With a rockin' 2 barrel? Centerbolt valve covers?
