Default Anybody want a free good running 6 cylinder engine?

Inspired by Thumpin', I've decided it is time to strip the old girl to the bare body, do some "nip & tucks" and build a proper V8 model.
If anyone want's a free 6 cylinder engine with flywheel for manual transmission, and is willing to come to Tracy, CA, they are welcome to it. Needs some lifters (clatter when cold). Otherwise runs good, no smoke, has had a head gasket at one time or another. Put a carb from Pony Carbs on a year ago. Good alternator, recent tuneup...yada, yada. I'd believe the odo at 128K miles. The rest of the car matches that.
Figured I'd rather give to someone in need, than to give it to the scrap metal man. By New Years day it will be gone, one way or the other. First to come with a truck and enough people to lift it into the bed (4 should do) gets it.

***edit***
Forgot to mention, it's complete with Alt, waterpump, distributor, coil, belts and hoses, and tune up. Also has the aftermarket A/C bracket as well as the stock Alt bracket. Basically drop it in hook it up and drive away.
Hopefully someone can use it.

I'm still alive, just been busy at work and no money to work on the car.

The wheels are currently waiting on tires, but should be on in the next month.
