SBC 406 Engine Ready To Sell @ Swap Meet

Getting the SBC 406 engine ready to sell at a local up and coming swap meet. This is my SBC 406 engine that I had completely rebuilt and during the engine break in two lobes on the COMP CAMS mother thumper cam shaft went flat and and that was the end of that. Now the engine needs all new bearings installed and a new cam and lifters. So I am getting it ready to sell and move it on down the road, which is a real bummer as I have spent a lot of money on this engine and I will never recover this money. My recommendation is never buy a COMP CAMS anything. So I put everything back together so it's a complete engine for the next person, but it still will need new bearings installed. It's mounted on a engine cart so it will roll around very easy for us and the next guy at the swap meet if it sells and if not no biggie I will just list it on Craigslist and go from there. 
Here are a few pictures of this bad boy!!!

1969 Chevrolet C20 Custom Camper Pick-Up

This is my Arizona truck that I have owned for 15 years now in 2015, It's far from perfect and it's no trailer queen. I drive it all the time in the summer but there are a few rules I do follow only on summer sunny days, NEVER IN THE RAIN if I can help it. NEVER in the winter after SALT has been put down on the roads. The bottom of the truck is as clean as the top so that's why I do what I do as far as the rules go. Plus RUST never sleeps and we do not need any of that stuff :o(

Anyway here are a few pictures of my truck and I hope you can appreciate all the work that I have done to it.
