I picked up what I believe to be a pretty good find. Original 1959 motor out of a Chevy wagon that got an LS1 swapped in. It was allegedly running and being driven up until the swap took place. Everything checks out. Block casting, serial number, 848 head, and valve cover looks like a '59. It does look like it has been running somewhat recently, as plug wires are good, points look clean, etc.

Will go through it to determine what it may need before it goes in the truck, but at a bare minimum some cleaning and fresh gaskets for sure.
