For those interested in the back story on the engine, I found it intake to pan in a semi trailer on the west side of Detroit where it had been stored for a LONG time. I then located the owner of the car somewhere on the east coast, and we couldn't make a deal so he consigned the car to a dealer and the current owner purchased it from this dealer. Ironically the owner lives less than an hour from me so we were able to make a deal on the engine a few years back and reunite it to the car after decades apart. How the engine made it from SC (where the car was sold new) to MI is beyond me.
Anyway, this sort of thing happens so rarely that I figured you guys would like to know.
The original motor was in excellent shape and still had some cool Day 2 parts such as a GM deep sump pan and roller rockers. Not sure if those have been removed, or come with the deal.
