Here is my project....20 some years ago this was my dads. He sold it to me...it blew a head gasket...hhmmmm how odd, I sold it . My Pop died in'88.
The new owner drove it and blew a head gasket,hmmmmmm how odd. He parked it!
Fast forward to January of this year. I run into the guy he STILL HAD IT! I eagerly bought it for...uhhh...500.00$ bad brakes, blown engine, trashed interior and all! But s*** is was my dads. So it was worth twice that to me.
I have an L20b ready to go in. I have been buying all new brake parts from Ebay. It's gonna get a header before it goes in. Also a friend does upholstery and is gonna redo the bench seat.
It has an Auto trans in it and is going to stay..but I need newer flex plate and spacers.anybody have one to sell?...more later heres the truck...Dave

[font="georgia"]Not sure on the PCV valve. Ive talked with a few 521/620 guys who have them hooked up. And on mine I will not be running the EGR valve & the other round looking device next to it. Ill be running a Weber 32/36 so theres no use for it. The problem with removing them is that they're attached to a piece that when removed will leave the end of the intake exposed, plus theres a metal tube coming up from the Ex. manifold that also attached to the same piece. What you can do is what im doing...run an intake from an L 16 [no emissions] & remove the metal tube from the Ex. manifold & plug the hole with a bolt. ill post pics of mine when i do it, should be this week.

The engine and transmission are gone and I used a pressure washer on the engine. As soon as the weather is good on a weekend the new (used) engine and transmission are going in. I have a new header to go on, but need (want) twin side draught carbs and manifolds for it. Other than that & a new coil for the electronic dizzy and I'm ready to go!

What do you all think of the junk yard mags? Once cleaned up they should look great!

It was about $155.oo to my door. I would like to put dual side draughts on for fuel.
I have a 32/36 that needs secondary linkage but would rather have SU's hanging off the side, more gas in =more H.P and the visual is also a real bonus with those. I think they look great!
I am going to drive about 85 miles this saturday to swap one of my automatics for a 4 speed this weekend. In the future I will put in a 5 Speed. For now the "free" 4 speed will do just fine.
Later...Dave
