Got the nasty lump of grease out of the truck. Now time to clean it up and put the correct brackets on it. A helpful board member is setting me up with a a 4bbl spreadbore intake on the cheap so going to put a new Edelbrock 650 on it with electric choke.

Pics show the mickey mouse engine mounts. Also, what is truly the dirtiest engine I've ever messed with.

As suggested, I'm going to replace valve seals. Since I'm this far wondering if I should just yank the heads to do so. That way I can check out the cylinders. The engine ran ok before I yanked it, some smoking at start up but otherwise ran smooth with no noises.
