Here is my beast. 72 4x4 360 custom. She is pretty much all stock except the bed is off a 68. It has allot of rust, nothing that cant be fixed!! It runs awesome. need to replace the clutch and exaust manifold gaskets. I have receipts from the early ninghtys and a log book the original owner kept. She has over 325k. I suspect the motor has been rebuilt. Enjoy.......

hey that excatly how my motor looks but i didnt paint the water pump but i think i might go and take it off right now. my motor dont wanna start up it sits on the side of my house.how do you keep the valve cover clean i washed my engine bay and there are water spots all over the air cleaner housing

[f26yrn04558-72]

There is supposed to be a cowl gasket, like a door weatherstrip, for the back of the hood. Mine has rotted away. When it rains water sits on my air cleaner too You can get new ones. I replaced all the gaskets, re: water pump, valve covers and intake to keep oil & coolant form getting blowen all over. Keeps the engine comp. clean. Is your motor a 360? mine is. You also asked me for a diagram for the plug wires, Hope this helps. There are numbers on the intake to match the numbers in the pick.

yea my motor is a 360 thanks for the picture. now how do i know from where the sparks plugs now. if i paint the water pump is hard to take off.what would i need to take off to get the water pump and paint it my motor is exactly like your the block is black the valve covers are blue i paint the air cleaner. and paint that metal part where the radiator hose hooks up.

There are numbers on top of the intake manf. next to the valve covers. on the left side it starts front to back...1 2 3 4 on the right side...5678. The numbes the tape on the cap indicates wtat cylinder the wire goes. 1to 1, 2 to 2.
If you are mechanicly inclined the water pump is not real tough to get off. I recomend getting a shop manual for your truck. I bought Detroit Iron shop manual on disk for the puter, its ok, I think I'd rather have the book.
