They would be awesome for that. They are all yours if you want to pay shipping on them, ship Greyhound? Will text pictures to you.
I too wondered if the offset water pump/fan is for engine bay logistics. The fan on this is impressive - seven blade solid center - must really whoosh under full song.
full song being 2000 rpm
I think the compressor is too large for me to use....
It has been suggested that this is the feed line for an oil cooler. Without a better guess, I suppose its possible, but it just seems unlikely to me. This and the return on the pan are still a mystery.
Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.
This coolant heater fitting is going to require heat to get to budge. Wow is it tight. Two guys with breaker bar and a cheater to hold the engine were sliding around on the floor trying to get it loose.

And lastly, one oddball Holley Carb. I assume the "extra" stuff is governor related? Though I don't recall governors having a cable control on them. Maybe hand throttle for a dump truck PTO?

the oil line up front and return line are for the air compressor.
The oil sender is right where it belongs, that's where the fitting is on a big block. That's also where the oil cooler would be plumbed in, look for another 3/8" or 1/2"(?) pipe plug
Can the governor part be removed and the carb still be functional? Probably more effort than its worth, but this IS a learning experience after all.....
( I never thought of a factory manual choke on a late 70's/early 80's engine - but yeah, looking at it again that's most likely a choke connection. Thanks!)

I think if you hold the butterflies closed, the linkage will move if it is not gummed up..
Took a Holley off a Dump truck.. Pleased as punch untill Gary flipped it, held butterfly closed and the linkage moved.
