[lts70]

Ended up with this 1973 Pontiac Ventura in a trade. Wasn't looking for one but it was too good of a deal to pass up on. After having it for a while it started to grow on me, so I figured I would get it going. Someone many years ago replaced the motor with a 1970 Pontiac 350 with #11 heads. It had been re gasketed and spray painted but that is as far as they got. So I started to collect all of the missing parts (distributor, radiator, etc.) that I needed to get her fired up. I felt pretty good that the motor would be good, who would take all the time to re gasket, paint and 80% install a bad motor. Well I got her to run but it has a bad rod knock from the bottom end.... dang the luck.
