What is it?

[TucsonHooligan]

For sale on Criagslist close to me, but I don't know what it is and the seller seems to be short on info. Looks like a later model 250 to me by the casting and valve cover, but not sure. Trying to get nuimbers off it, but in the meantime: What is it?

Looks like either a 240 or 300. Judging from the color, I think it was the one that powered the ship used by Buck Rodgers.

Stupid me, I didn't even notice the lack of the cast log intake! Duh! Must be a 300. I got a truck that has that motor. For 50 bucks, can't go wrong!

It never let Buck down. Just remember that "Chrome in a can" paint is conductive and will cause ignition troubles.

That configuration has to be a 240 or 300. The crank pulley suggests that it is a 300.
