    I got an engine with a parts lot. Kind of free with the deal. I was told it was out of a 1968 GS. All of the front components were missing from the engine. It does have a 68-70 4 barrel intake on it.

    I'm tearing it apart to see if anything is good. The first bad sign there was only 3 bolts holding the oil pan on and no oil. Kinda tells me someone was in there.

    I was hoping it was good but just dirty. Nope bottom end locked up.

    The passenger side head has 73 on it so at least 1 smog motor head.

    The block looks like a 1970 or earlier. If I'm looking at it right.

    I think I can tell what cylinder have had a problem from looking at the bottom of the head. The top end moved freely.

    It will be fun taking the bottom end apart.

    Other than the intake I'm not sure if anything is worth saving off this thing.

    Maybe the block can make a nice fish habitat...
