Hopefully a nice rig to pull the car.
The new zero mile crate doesn't look new to me.
Also, it's not 4WD and it snows a lot here. |

Crate engine could just be a short- or longblock... so it could've just been the block & rotating assembly. Longblock would've added heads & valvetrain I believe, intake, accessories, etc. would be reused.

all you can see is the intake mainly, and that wouldnt come with a short or longblock. sounds like a good deal to me if it is what he says it is. and to think it could just need the distributor dropped in right and drive!

why do it have a quadrabog on it? '89 is throttle body fuel injection not carbonator.

My thought is maybe they still had 4bbl as an option in those years, I don't know when they stopped with the carb on all models, I thought I remembered seeing something about it as still an option even after TBI started in '87 or whichever year it was.
