  • That fork lift is turning out to be one of your most used purchases since youve been in the new shop.👍👊

    • Pretty good engine lift too, Brent needs an adjustable spreader bar maybe to improve his angle of entry?

    • PLEASE! Drill a 3/4” hole toward the end of the forks. It makes engine installs lots less sketchy.

    • Even just a simple "hello" helps the channel. KZhead pays its creators based on likes, comments, subscribers and views. If every viewer would comment and give a thumb it would go a long way to ward helping Brent & Esther keep the channels and the shop up and running.

  • That engine is a 350. It's from the pollution eara after 74. Then never made a 302 or 327. That number was introduced in 1969 and was the block to go with on all 350s in the 70s and 80s.

  • Hey Brent, I found that most of the 010 blocks were 350ci 2 bolt mains. Most of the 4 bolt main motors came out of 4 wd models. This being a 4 barrel and from a larger truck frame it may very well may be a 4 bolt. All of the 327ci blocks were orange as Chevy didn't use blue until the 70s and Chevy stopped making them in the early 70 "I believe" I've always had good luck with the 010 blocks and I've had quite a few of them.
