It had been sitting on a ranch outside of Paso Robles Ca. all that time. The original 235 is froze, every nut and bolt is rusted, and the wiring is shot. Should be driving it in about a week.  In the early 80's I had found a 46 chevy on a ranch in Washington State and drove it for 5 years. Since then, I have always wanted another one. I have diesel fuel in the crankcase and cylinders hoping I can free up and use this motor. The odometer reads 78000.
