    It's long gone. The motor had been sitting around in a shop for like 10 years. Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

    So i took the crank out of the RV engine, and the thrust bearing was worn down to the welds and ate away most of the crank thrust surface. So that crank is trash too. Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

    The pistons are standard flat tops, but the full set i have are standard dishes. I'll probably sell them since hypereutectic domes are still pretty cheap. Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

    Ohyea. That crank and cam are scrap metal. I kept 4 of the truck rods just in case any of my other thumb rods don't check out at the maching shop, like you said. The block is going to scrap too after looking more closely at that photo. Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

    It was built in the 80's sometime, and it looks like. One of the rod nuts just backed out. Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

    After thinking about it, it happened at idle. So it's probably not stressed at all , and it unlocked the slightest press of a pry bar Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

    It probably wouldn't be worth the money to risk it with this block since i have a good one already.

    Finally pulled the locked up engine. I'm glad the heads survived, but I'm not worried about the block since i have a good one already. One of the rod nuts worked loose. I guess they didn't torque them well enough. Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

    It's a manual. It just needed a lot of persuasion since it hadn't been out in like 30 years Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

    I got the 6 trans bolts off, and it will not break loose from the block. Are there any im missing? Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

    Is there anything I should know regarding fitment before I do this? Is it as simple as it should be? Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk
