the engine that said it could!!

ive had my 89 chavy blazer for 7 years know and when i got it it had about 230000 on it or so drove it every where all original, replaced the tranny 3 times but the engine ran strong drove it for a 100 or so miles once in sand befor noticing i had no oil in the engine due to a hole be punched in the oil pan, fixed that put some oil in it and drove it a bunch more, at 530000 or so miles is when the 3rd tranny went out on me and i decided it was time to retire the old machine today i started taking off all the good parts, its almost like if i had to get rid of my gt.
