Hey all,

I have a chance to buy this complete, running 1955 Chevy 261 motor for $600.

It's out of a 2-ton 1955 Chevy telephone pole installation truck from a phone company. I heard it run today, it runs pretty darn well, might need a carb rebuild but that's no biggie. Checking compression tomorrow. What do you think? A good candidate for dropping into my 1950 1/2-ton pickup? Do you see anything funky or worrisome? Let me know your thoughts if you have any.

Thanks, as always!

Nick
