Picked up a little somethin today

Well ive been waiting for this for about 4 months or so and it finally turned up

Its got a real bad rod knock, but i picked 'er up for $750.. cant go wrong. Other than the knock it runs perfect. Its a stock 84.. thinkin ill call it "The Beast"

I will have a build thread as soon as i start in on it.
