Re: '76 350 into an '85 3/4 ton 4x4

Thanks for the encouragement folks!

I guess it's time to just wait for the old 85 engine to expire or use so much oil that I can't take it anymore. I think it is constantly leaking by the valve seals as I never see any oil smoke or leaks big enough to compare to the oil loss. The spark plugs need to be freshened-up/changed every year or so (5000 miles) because of oil fouling. Compression is from 170 to 200 psi and the pcv valve has been changed. There is no coolant loss either. Anyhow, this may be something for a different thread. Thanks again!
