Well If you don't remember,when I got my truck from my uncle it had an 84 6.2 diesel in it. I decided that I didn't want the diesel plus I didn't have the $200 for a new starter, so I pulled it out. My dad had a 350 sitting in our old Blazer that he said I could use. Only probleb was it had been sitting for 3 years with Quacker state oil in it. I put new heads on it and tried to prime the system. After a half hour I still had no oil at the top of the valves so out it came. In goes the big block from my Chevelle. After a few more setbacks I finally got to take her around the block today. Now just a few more tweeks and she should be burning up the streets of Fredericksburg...
