Here's my hoopty, 79 K5 Blazer, 350/TH350/NP203/10b/12b, all original; A/C and cruise control, manual windows door locks and tail gate. She's a California truck but no smog pump or AIR. Does have a cat converter. She's been non-op'd since 2003. She has what sounds like a lifter knock (smooth constant hollow knock from top rear of engine). Got a full tank for fuel from 2003. Shes dirty rusty and tired. Straight body panels. She's perfect. Total investment, including new Craigslist tires and a new ignition lock cylinder, and a uhaul trailer rental to get her from the previous owners house to mine, under $1,000. She's been parked at my house waiting for my time and dollars. I recently got engaged and switched jobs so after a few weeks of catch up I'll be replacing lifters pushrods and rockers and then the fun begins. Powerplant swap is in the future. Either a 5.3 LS or a 6.2 diesel (to swap to diesel at the DMV, plans for a 4bt swap later down that road, if that is the road I choose.)
