New (not rebuilt) 4.3 v-6 power plant

This is a new zero mile 96 4.3 vortec. It was a test motor from g.m.. G.m. Put less than 1/2 a shift (4 hours) on it on a dyno. They kept all of the fuel inj. Stuff off of it. Apparently that was what they were testing. Anyway... I got it & put in a new pertronix H.E.I.., a perfomer alum. Intake & a 500 cfm electric choke model carb.(all new) I put on a used serpetine belt set up, used air conditioning compressor (NOT THE ONE IN THE PIC... A STOCK G.M.) & had the alternator rebuilt as a 100 amp one wire setup.(it had no brackets or pullys on it when I got it)kinda went backwords to old school. It has a 4wd oil pan on it. This was for my 72 short fleet "NO HOLDS BARRED- NOTHING BUT THE BEST-MONEY PIT" project, but I'm going in a diesel direction. (& I PAINTED IT ORANGE... ALL CHEVY MOTORS SHOULD BE ORANGE, UNLESS THEY ARE A DIESEL) I need $1500 for it (alot less than I have in it) picked up in somerset kentucky 42501. G.M.s been putting these motors in full sized trucks for years, so I figured it would push my little 72 just fine. Thought I'd give you guys a shot at it before it went on craigs list or ebay. IT'S A WHOLE LOT BETTER DEAL THAN ONE OF THOSE MADE IN MEXICO CRATE MOTORS. Thanks John
