This motor has 225k on it, so I was planning on a bit of a refresh. If nothing else, main and rod bearings. However, I may skip it. This was a known running engine/trans, and it's really clean inside. I am leaning toward new gaskets and a Craigslist rebuild.

Edit: what did you do about a radiator?
