I looked and looked for a date code correct 350 and could not find one. The engine in our donor was a replacement and not correct. We elected to buy a GM crate 350 long block and just fit all the correct stuff to it. The PS pump, compressor, intake, carb, etc....are all date code correct.
The carb was rebuilt/restored by Sean Murphy (SMI). He not only rebuilds it, but re-plates and refinishes everything to original condition.

Just now reading thru all of this, night shift sure gives me a chance to read. For a minute I felt bad we didn’t meet sooner because the numbers matching drivetrain was in the burb but it was a 71. One of these days I’ll gwt by your place to have a look. Worth mentioning I always use Nash, he did the one for my truck and it’s been thru a lot. Also post 131 I think just made me decide on a paint color for the crew cab.
