Yes! That was a nice surprise!
I'm curious to see if the 'steam' holes where in fact drilled at the time of the rebuild?
- From what I could find so far, that Pontiac engine is in fact, a truck engine (55-57).
- Looking at Jim Carter's page, I identified the 'captain' marks on the block, everything checks out.
- It has the fittings for the oil filter still attached.
- Engine turns over with a nice suction sound...
I'm thinking Chevy Orange paint with shiny aluminum 'Go' parts!
