Hi piper51, glad you chose to join us. We're just a bunch of old truck lovers helping other old truck lovers.

It's good to see that you want to keep an old stovebolt six in the old girl. You may also consider getting a 261, same block, a lot of us are quite happy with those engines.

Hope the two of you can get the old beast roadworthy in the near future and when you run stuck, just visit here and ask.

Leo
