Engine and trans could be cleaned up and used depending on what elements it's been in and how long, if so I'd pay $300 for them the rest is scrap. Sub'd for additional shinanigans n such.

Engine never started.
Sitting like that for years.
The passenger side valve cover is sitting forward.

That oil pan is full of water.

Yup you're right, had to zoom in on the iPhone to see it better. It's sad that engine was just left there to rot.

1974.. and California doesn't care about the EPA... we have "CARB"... California Air Resources Board... they are more restrictive than the EPA, which is why there are "49-state" cars... though a lot of northeastern standards have caught up to California, and all current Toyotas are 50-state.

Anything 1975 and newer is not exempt.
It was originally a 25 year exemption, but when it hit 1975 in 2000, they halted it. Nice that the classic musclecars are now exempt, but it sucks that if you have something newer (and face it, pretty much anything from 1975 to 1990 was shit) and want to swap in a new engine, you have to follow the rules.

A 350 COULD be smog legal in that truck, provided:
1 - The 350 came from another vehicle 1983 or newer
2 - ALL original emissions equipment from the donor vehicle was transferred with it
3 - Owner takes it to a smog ref, who will verify the above, and from that point on, the truck would be tested to the original smog specifications of the donor car.

But the OP's 350 has a carb... it's not even a TBI intake. No clue, or way to verify what it came from. I see an EGR blockoff plate on the intake, open breather oil cap, and I don't think that trick air-cooling system will fly. Even Harley is moving into liquid cooling because of smog regs.

75s and older are smog exempt. It was 30 years old that got the vehicle the exemption..i remember because I had a 77 that I was hoping would make it into the smog exempt status and they stopped it just before it would have been in..2005 i think. This state is so lame!!
