Mastodawn

Put Pop's Truck to work one last time last night before I pull the engine out of it for a refresh. Despite having a wicked knock in the bottom end, the 'ol unrebuilt 350 still pulled a dead 68 Mercury up a steep driveway (about 20 degrees), in the rain with no issue. The granny gear 1st and 4-Lo made very slow, but reliable work of it.

Also, this isn't steam, but oil. It burns about a quart every 500 miles, from my guess. https://photos.app.goo.gl/wTt9ErnzVxKXExdz9

@austincnunn I'm kinda bummed. Started searching hashtags for sbc350, smallblock, etc. Found you with squarebody. I guess there isnt much car community here. How is your weird.autos instance?

@ATLeagle We're pretty great! We've got a ton of great car people, and we like everything from old Chevys, Volvos, Porsches, and more. @Mark is a great admin, too.
