the engine in it is a winsor 351 4bbl carb. I will start with the fly wheel being on backwards and the starter ring. One thing i noticed was that the bolts they used to mount it in were just grade A hardware. I went and found some starter bolts that fit that truck. Well i appriciate the advice and i will let you know how everything goes. thanks again guys
