Bought this 61, with a 62 hood, with a locked up 305. Then went a bought a 351, which I believe was a replacement motor because it is only stamped with 351.
It will be a process to finish, but I am in no rush.
I sure I will have questions. I do try to search archives first. So don't crush if it's been covered before, just bash away.

Oh, and before I bought this I didn't even know that big block v6s existed. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211001/361d918d8f204c4924b64905463c4631.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211001/5c059466d5510feca707ee8671ca4155.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211001/8ac2e2d319673fa70820792e61ad6438.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211001/89252948501e08c1e70837f0a0237dad.jpg

Dang, the motor picture is the 305.
I think I need to look closer at the pictures before posting.

Welcome Ironhead!

Kudos for sticking with the V6 and looking forward to photos of your 351.

:yes:

Welcome to the forum, Ironhead! Sounds like you're starting your project with the right attitude -- not being in a hurry to finish. We'll help answer your questions whenever we can. You've got a '62 to '66 Chevy hood by the way, not a GMC hood. Turn signals are different. Congratulations on finding a 351 -- they're not easy to find.

Welcome, when I first found my truck, I never knew the V-6 existed either - boy do I love it now......
