Motor out.

So now it was time to rip the motor out. Both the floors and motor were done in June, 2010 (this summer).


This is what 25 year old anti-freeze does. Turns into crystal crud. Don't sniff it!


Rockers were surprisingly clean. And so was the rest of the motor when I took it apart. I had hardened seats in the valves, so my guess is that it was rebuilt at some point in the late 70's / early 80's. I checked everything over good, had the head shaved .080 to raise compression a bit, checked the bearings and everything looked good, painted her up, fresh gaskets, and back together. The stock carb was broke, and the points the previous owners installed in the distributor were not installed right. The thing never would have started.


Here's the motor just before removal. For some reason, I got no pics of pulling it!
