$100.00 engine runs like a top yeehaw

I took a chance & drove from North Port ,Fl. (just S. of Sarasota) to Huntsville , Al. 14 hours to buy a Craigslist 223 for my truck. It took several months and a lot of help from you guys 51PanelMan, Fordman75 and carbs & chrome.........It started & I was so relieved always wondering if it was any good. It B good

Nice engine compartment but you forgot your lunch in there. Or are you just warming up a can of chili?

Love the Quick Draw McGraw lunch box. Now you need to find a Baba Looey valve cover.
