idk if im going to be selling anything. im going to drop the pan soon to see if its a 2 or 4 bolt. and to see what kind of internals its got. if its a 4 i might just do a basic rebuild and keep her as a backup. as far as the carb plate im not sure yet lol. just got everything last night and just put the stuff on my monte carlo tonight.

lol the motor came out of my '79, but its a '69 block. I have an explanation for the plate, although its not really that great of an idea. I was told it's a heat shield. I can really only think of one reason why its there, and that is to try to keep fuel temps down, which is supposed to = more horsepower, but I'm not sure how effective it is...I didnt put it on there.
