New engine, new sound!

Well, the engine swap is complete, and the new 304 is a runner! It was basicly a sight unseen purchase, but I didn't have many choices. I have to say, that in 35 years of pulling engines, this was by far the easiest. I did it by myself in an RV park, with nothing but basic hand tools and a rental engine hoist.
The new engine has a mild(!) cam and fenderwell headers. I didn't want either, but for $250, I wasn't going to complain a whole lot. After the swap, I fired it up (no mufflers yet), and I have to admit, the headers and cam DO give it an, uh, interesting sound. Like you can count the cylinders firing. Now the next phase will be a rebuild kit for the Holley carb. it sounds rough, and it runs so rich that it smokes. At least I HOPE that's what the smoke is. It just doesn't look blue enough to be a smoker.
I want to thank everyone on this board for all the help and advice. And if ANYONE knows where I can get a front driveline cheap, let me know!

 

Keep the cam, M 318 got a mild cam and it just sounds soo cool idling with the rough out of time gallop. That and the xtra power is cool too

 

Oh, there was no question of getting rid of it! I just never intended to build a hot rod. This wasn't a mod, or a hop up, but mearly a repair. The only reason I used the headers instead of selling them was because my origonal exhaust system literally fell apart taking the old engine out.
This Jeep is my only car, so I had to have it running ASAP. Now, all I have to do is get some collector adapters and put the grill back on, and I'm good to go!

 

Good to hear ya got it runnin again
