Spent a lot of hours cleaning this up for a RAT Rod project. Wire brushed down to the metal primed and painted with high heat resistant paint. When I pulled the crank to replace the main seals there was no rust and a all the parts were thoroughly lubricated. It has the original heavy duty heads. Turns over easy enough for a big block, I have added a lot of new parts and have a lot of new parts for it. NEW High Rise intake, Aluminum Water Pump and Housing, Chrome Headers, I was in the middle of replacing the freeze plugs, but could not find the package. Its matching 727 Transmission is included.
