Got the engine put back together

I spent a little time working on the truck this Saturday..... I got the engine put back together and all hooked up, got it fired up and running. Gonna hit the streets soon, it has been in hibernation for about 15 plus years.

I actually built it 15 to 20 years ago, drove it some then parked it. I just put new gaskets on it ( around $45.00 ), rebuilt the carb ( around $20.00 ), new plugs, new fuel tank, new belts and hoses....etc.

HEI was off the nova I got the power steering from about 20 years ago. you can get them off P/U's or cars that had 6 bangers in the 70's and early 80's
I have a few in my collection I have picked up at junk yards. They are getting harder to find but I got 2 this week off of stuff that came in the crusher yard I work at. I pull all the cool stuff before it gets crushed, got both power steering set ups off the vehicles that had the 6 cyl HEI .... added them to the collection also

Re: Got the engine put back together

That's awesome. I'm setting up power steering on my 250 that came out of a nova too. That motor looks so good all painted up. I gotta get one one of those hei's. Good job. What about the rest of the truck? Pics?
