Looks like a great find....someday I want to find the deal of a lifetime like that. The $350 vehicles I buy are well.....$350 vehicles....as in worse shape than most people would even consider getting for a parts vehicle.
I'm sure you can find a home for the 216....whatever you do, do not scrap it. The inlaws are up by you so I would take a trip up there without question if you were selling it for scrap price. I'm sure you can get more for it than that though. There are still quite a few people that want original. I am going to keep the 216 in my '46 1.5 ton. (this was one of my $250 "parts vehicles"...locked engine and all)
Good luck on the project and keep us posted.
