Gee, wish I knew ya needed a tall deck! Got this 572 tall deck just sitting.....
@bablazer73 drop it off for long term storage on your next trip south . i have a spot open in the shop .
i think the dump truck would need wings after i stuff this one in there .
well finally made time for this project to get done .
motor looks as listed inside super clean low miles . i even was able to see the reman comp gm used installed a 2 row roller chain for the timing system so one less thing to upgrade on my end . cause if it had a silent chain i was going to swap it . i had to drill a hole and take a carbide bit to the threaded coolant plug in the head cause even with the correct special driver bit it popped 1/3 of it off . but once i did the hole and ground 3 of the 4 flats to the threads i tapped it with a hammer and chisel bit and it all fell out . i used the shop vac with a small 1/2" pipe reducer to suck out the chips and grinding powder . this was so i could install the nipple adapter for the water flow to the air compressor for the brakes .
next i had the intake blasted clean and gave it a coat of paint . for now it has one t-stat housing on it for mock-up the other is in the bucket of rust remover from all the boiled water that was in the old engines system .
next i said no more funky holley carb for me as it needed a full rebuild anyway . i found a new in the box edelbrock 1406 performance / towing spec unit with man choke linkage . then i got a pertronics hei module with built in rev limiter and will set it for 4,500 rpm just a little higher than stock system was . this with the new 50,000 volt coil from them and all new wires / cap / rotor / reg vac advance hei we should be good .
the water pump got stripped of its needed parts to go to the fresh reman unit i scored cheep off ebay not long ago .
i need to swap the tins for my units and gt a oil pressure feed hose made up local for the air compressor and the oil rated hose for the drain to the pan . then she will be ready for a test fire .

got the dist all built out with new hei mod and 50k volt coil from pertronics .
got the water pump all built out with swapping stuff over from old to new .
got the intake set on for test fit of all parts .
got my original tins all cleaned up and fresh coat of paint and ready for the swap over .
she is getting there . its been extra work cleaning up the rusty & burnt on/in water and coolant from the parts i had to reuse from the old engine . they sure cooked the ever living hell out of it to boil the water out and leave this kind of build up behind . i even have parts soaking now in the cleaner for a 24hr soak . and it smells so bad when you wire wheel the rust off the coolant parts from being burnt .
little test fit of the stuff . and i have to swap the pan for the oil drain port on the air compressor .

Cool to see you bringing it back to life, nice job on it so far look forward to seeing it run. Place I worked years ago had 2 C60 stake beds always like driving them.
I'm storing a dump truck for my brother he drove it to Md from Fallon Nevada. Governed at 55 mph. '77 International 4x4 diesel 35K~ original miles on it.
(Dont mind the foam blocks helps keep the cab lights from ripping thru the tarp, which I was changing)

The one draw back about medium-duty trucks is the registration cost. Because of the GVWR on these trucks the registration is through the roof expensive no matter how old the truck is.
Some guys put a camper on the back and get camper plates here--seen many school buses that people chopped down into a car hauler,that still has about 10 feet of the bus body behind the driver to use as a camper,that makes it eligible for cheap RV/Camper plates..
I think they have to have some "plumbing" to qualify though..

I'd have to check with him, I think my brother got around the high registration by getting antique plates in VA.
Wow its been a bit again . . . But now moms mustang is done the shop got the 2 wheel burn truck in its place now . But i dug out the 366 bbc for this and other than installing tbe intake the motor is ready to set in .
So stay tuned for more .
So stay tuned for more .
Yet again another long awaited update :
Intake on . Tins on . SAE bellhousing adapter on and fresh turned flywheel with new LUK clutch kit . Trans dug out of its hole and ready for gaskets and seals .
I will say its all possible from help from a good family member who i have helped and he said lets get this DONE

Why not keep the Holley? They are designed for this application.
What is your intended use? Still going to flip it?

both holley units i have are shot from sitting around / reman kits stupid money / complicated units / guys on other forums have had great results with the 500-600 cfm edelbrock swap .
still flipping it . and i will include the left over carbs and other smalls so if someone wishes to go back they have a chance to do so .
Now you DO NOT see me ....... NOW YOU do see me . . .

it's alive 
fired right off after pre-lubed oil pump and lifters filled . also filled the edelbrocks fuel bowls with gas in the vent ports . starter is a bit cranky so might be getting a new one monday from local napa .
now to put the core support in and rad and fill with water for testing needs .

6+ years and never knowing all the lights worked and drove decent .
Nose back on . And testing the dump out after freeing up the valve from being unused for years .
