Lifters a bit rattly, misfire at idle. Figured a couple of leads wrong (my fault from trying to sort out why it was hard to turn over).

Sorted that out easily, a few revs and lifter noise gone......... settles down to a perfect idle. Could sit a mug of tea on a rocker cover and it wouldn't move. Has electronic ign and iridium plugs.

Give it some herbs and it just roars.......... extractors and 3" mandrel exhaust.

Starting to think I'm crazy selling this but the 350 in the red one needs a rebuild after 700k kms ish.

To put this 4.4 in I'd need a flexplate and a convertor to mate to the C9. Gave the original one to Autoflite when they made the one to mate the Chev to the C9. Wouldn't go back to a manual.

Would need to put back original rover engine mounts (no biggie) but then get the new engine number inspected @ V/roads..........can of worms........sagging headlining, fading paint etc.

Dam i had the Marshmallows packed for the trip down as well
