Re: our new burb

Well I'm pretty sure the ole gal has a leaking intake manifold gasket or leaking head gasket. It loosing a lot of coolant and not really leaking externally. If you rev it up on decell it white smokes a good bit. Also has a good bit of lifter and quite possibly rod noise. So I found a used motor from a friend and am gonna swap it out this weekend or next weekend. I plan on doing a ls swap soon so don't really want to spend any money on this motor so I hope it's better then the current one. Compleat tbi 350 for 200 bucks can't be too bad of a deal.
