    Just looked up the weight. Between 1000 and 1100 pounds with the cylinder head! For comparison, that's about 25% heavier than a 2001 Duramax V8. I can see why the Detroits find themselves in industrial machines that have to live in extreme conditions, heat, and vibration. It's like a chunk of iron ore ripped from the ground, sculpted a little bit, and painted in midcentury faded puke. Anyway, if no one makes it worthwhile to sell it off in parts, you ought to consider building a generator set with it. If you can't find use for the generator, maybe you can give it to or sell it to someone who needs electricity and noise on demand.

      The 4-53 should fit well and bolt to the trans you already have. Can't remember if that was an N or T you have? The N is 130-140 HP and the T is 170-175 HP. The 4-71 is 145-160 HP. The 4-53 is lighter and spins faster, so in the end you might not notice the power differences.:)

    Put some ATF in the fuel and pin it for an hour…they’ll fire properly after that!

    Excited to see how it runs on the dyno under various conditions. Once the air was out our the fuel system and it got some temp it sure ran clean.
