Just a little update for everyone. I actually had a chance to talk with my dad about the truck. Turns out, the motor is out of a 90 something van. He said it has the 1-piece seal so the two of us came to the consensus that it is most likely in fact a roller block. Which puts a smile on my face to say the least That also means that I can't say for sure what kind of miles are on the motor (still going to run the leakdown). So that'll save me a few dollars for sure, not having to buy a retro-fit and may be able to re-use the lifters that are in it. I also found out my dad has a 2400 stall Torque converter in the shed so I don't have to buy one. On another note, just thought I share that I have a fresh set of wheels on the way that should be here early next week. About 5 weeks til this thing is out and waking the dead with its rumble

Pretty easy to pull the dizzy and flashlight down the dizzy hole to see if it has rollers.Good Bye
it's nice to have space, I just keep moving stuff to only move it again and again and again!
