You guys buying? I'll also need the cam to match ;)
I'll chip in $20....
Green with black lettering
Well, "money where the mouth is" as they say
I'm in for $10 to help with the green paint 
I appreciate the offers, but at this point I really don't feel comfortable putting pricey hot-rod parts on this old farm truck. I have no doubt it would look cool though.
I remember looking for an Offenhauser tri-power for my Impala's six. The manifold alone was $300, then people were wanting $200 each for beat up old Rochester singles!
Short story long, my engine stayed stock 
Still though:
Sadly, the GMC parts are slightly different there. 1.5 inches longer and much more rare $$ than the chevy counterparts.
Triples? Ha. Load it up!
I'll stick with stock.
That belongs in the "Ohmygoodgoshalmighty" thread 
Now with easier access to engine
Got a few minutes yesterday and dropped the 2 piece drive shaft.
Out comes one dead 228 straight 6. When I pulled the drain plug, bright green antifreeze poured out for a few seconds before very black oil.
Think I also understand why I see so many cabs pulled off during engine swaps.
New and old, side by side while I swap bellhousings and accessories.
Weiner dog for scale.
Well, since last update in this here build thread, This happened.
So, I finally got it apart and salvaged the bellhousing I needed. Darn clutch and brake pedals mount to it. Can't say I've ever taken an engine this far apart before. #2 Piston is still stuck in the block and it's not moving.
Gotta love the size of these pistons.
Dude, that is AWESOME! !!!!
Those are some bigass bearing journals for an engine making, what, 100hp? I expect on modern diesel spec oil any example still running with good pressure should go until the sun burns out.
115hp
Great work!!!

Outstanding! I love the Clarksonesque hammer next to the head!
Missed this thread the first time around somehow. Looks like you're banging away at it (ha!).
Neat truck!
Would Evaporust poured into the cylinder help get the piston unstuck?
In reply to jimbob_racing:
Probably, any mild acid solution really, given enough time, vinegar would probably do it.
