looks like a pretty clean engine install, i definetly need to get on the ball with my truck so someday i can drive it without leaking 2qts of oil an hour and boost over 5lbs. If its runs reliably thats a nice find.

as much as i hate automatics, that 1st gen is super clean and it looks like it'd be a blast on the dunes with that 231 in it. that engine is probably putting out around 300lbs of torque.

I like how it says "leaks no fluids" he should have added "yet" to it.

IIRC the 3.8 is known for the rear main oil leak.

Would be a blast to drive though.
