Squarebody 87...Annabelle (that's her name) did have the vortec v6 in her and it was nothing but trouble...dropped in a 350 from a 75 donor...it could use a rebuild and I hope to get to that around January...but it runs just fine for now...
I will say that a feller should be care with Seafoam cause the stuff works too well! After running a tank through, the new/old 350 started smoking on startup...I'm sure it's time for a valve job and the Seafoam musta loosened up all the gunk that was acting as a seal...
