If interested, as an additional cost, either with or without the truck, a performance built 292 and TH350 sitting in it. The trans was in my '38 business coupe when I bought that and it works very well with solid shifts at wot. No clue what is in it, but it's set up for good street performance and manners. I only removed it to install a 2004R trans.
The engine is a new build from several years ago, that was destined for a 1952 2.5 ton truck that I was going to move the rollback bed to, until I realized it was a LOT easier to just keep the '89 truck and sell the '52.
It had minimal cylinder wear and was stone honed and the original pistons re-ringed. The head was milled .060 to raise the compression to about 9.2. The push rods were custom ordered for the decrease in head height. The cam has .487 lift and a little longer duration. It has all new bigger valves, that I can't recall the size right now, along with bronze guides and 3 angle grind. Clifford intake, 390 Holley and cast, split exhaust manifolds. New, Pertronix, billet distributor and matching coil. It was broken in properly on an engine stand but never dyno'd. The builder didn't have an hp build chart for a 6, but it actually has a slight lope at idle and sounds like an exotic foreign engine when revved up. I wish I had installed in a vehicle to drive years ago, but it just didn't happen. I HAVE kept the cylinders lubricated with spray oil thru the spark plug holes and hand turning over multiple cycles thru the years. I do have a some receipts for the parts, but not for the cam/lifters and valves. They all came from Tom at 12bolt . com
Price of the engine/trans is $4,000, which is less than I have in the engine alone.
If bought together with the truck, I can do a combo price on them.
