    I finally got around to removing oil pan. A piece of cylinder #8 piston skirt. A balled up/shriveled oil pump pickup. A lot of little metal shavings.

    The junction block on the firewall was missing! I pulled one from junkyard and even wired in the underhood light as well. All the wires are going to their respective locations and voila I have power to all accessories! Thanks so much for your help!!!

    When I pulled the engine from the 59 truck, I had to pull it across a dirt yard to a trailer to load. At one point it did fall from the cherry picker. I didn’t see any visible damage so I wasn’t worried about it. I will be draining the oil and removing oil pan very soon and will post update...

    I have a question about the engine before I dig into it. My buddy told me that it had been rebuilt previous to him purchasing it for his project. Long story short.

    New here. I just picked up a 1994 C1500 with no engine/transmission, and lowered for $200 off Marketplace on Facebook. I plan to put a fuel injected engine (TBI or LS) eventually, but recently picked up a “rebuilt” carbureted 350/TH350 for $600 from a friend. I’m building it up slowly and here...
