I know so it's not fair of me to "guess" but it sure looks good Steve.

well it looks like the 2 + 2 is right beside it !

I didn't expect it to be blue though, that means it is 1977 and later.

By the looks of the water pump and front pulleys, it looks like a tall block out of a medium duty??? Did you check it?

Hey Ray!!! Haven't worked on them as such other than tune ups! But here in Sask, there are a lot of grain trucks with this type of mill in them... 366's as well look the same at a glance....... Also, the Holley was another give away.......

Ya I had it in my mind it would be from an earlier vehicle than he obviously got it from but not so late that it was painted black.

bingo. its a 79 366. the old tall decks were known for torque and nothing else. its a high nickel block with a 4 bolt main and a forge steel crank. i'm putting it in my 78 cj7 which already has 1 ton 78 gmc running gear, farmer 4 sp w/ a 205 transfer case. which leave the 454 going back into the beaumont. the 454 was just the wrong motor in the jeep. on another note what would you guys think if i turned the wagon into a straight axle.
