Make a good point on the engine. From what I was told thru here or another forum, it's a 54 235 from a 3100 series truck #00II242F54X CON1 K5 is what's on the side of the block, heads are 6835913.
Starting to keep better notes to where and how I got this info as well as future work. Should have done this the first time. Have the 248 engine which I'd like to put back in the truck.
Will be taking the engine to the machine shop to have it checked out to make sure it's rebuildable, etc. First project truck for me and learning as I go. Wanted to try to get it running to see what all I need to do before I do a full on restore when I get garage built. Right now using the shop at work on weekends when I have time.
Looking for rebuilding parts for these engines, etc.
I'll be going back out to a friends place where I had gotten the truck and engines from, will look for more spare parts I can use as most of the stuff he will be selling or junking.
