I will buy it from him tomorrow after work and we will pull it out, weather permitting. I will open it up, inspect it, paint it, re-seal it and drop it in my 61 Apache Longbed with the Muncie 328 overdrive tranny. Should be perfect with my stock 3.90 rear.

Looks like the 216 loses. Lol.

Read my by line....ten years using the 3.90/overdrive Muncie (.70) 235 combination. Perfect marriage. You just won the lottery my friend. Get Fentons, maybe a dual intake down the road. Congrats.
