Hi guys - trying to put a plan together on my '66 with the seized engine that you all have been helping me with.
In doing some research and listening to your coaching it seems that I should determine what sort of condition my crank is in before deciding to replace the engine vs rebuild.
That would seem to suggest dropping the pan and having a look from under the car at the condition of the engine internals, but can I get enough info on the condition of the crank to really make a solid decision as to if I can re-use it vs having to replace it?
I know I can look at the condition of the bearings, but should I try to remove the piston rods and mic the crank too?
Other ideas?
Thanks!
