Yep, I'd sell that engine in a heartbeat, and have a deep enough pocket to finance a full restoration of the truck with a fair amount of beer money left over! A numbers-correct small-journal 302 is as rare a critter as Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, or an honest politician! When did any Chevy V8 engine have a distributor in the front? That would REALLY be a rare find!
