It's good to know the stuff mentioned about the LS1. That's definitely outa the question.

The reason I did not get the engine running right at first was because I was a bit cash poor after the purchase and even if I did get it running, I certainly was not ready to drive it around anywhere. So I did the next most logical thing. I removed the bed and started restoring it. Mostly a time and elbow grease investment there.

If I wanted to, I could still try to get her running today since nothing has been disturbed that's either beneath the bed or in front of the bed.

I'm gonna guess that with 88K on the odometer, this old girl just might run. If it's got 188K, she sure doesn't look like it.

I guess the million dollar question is "Does the 230 run well?" and remains to be answered until after the weather warms up.

If the 230 is not gonna run, then I will probably lean towards a 350 like a lot of other folks. It seems the 327 doesn't have much popularity.
