62 Belvedere 318 poly granny cruiser (one day i hope)

That will make a nice stroker. It is probably just rusted up a bit.

It's soo slimed... whole front of the motor looks like 1" of grease from years of leaking covers.. factory 4bbl which i figured they would have dropped by 85.. gonna try to get some money out of the heads/intake if i can.. $50 on market place maybe... see if i can sell some of the crap to make up the cost of the block

K.. block showed up... nasty outside, pretty clean inside, no sludge but haven't pulled the pan yet.. has some rust in a couple of cyls but not TOO bad... i was kinda hoping the cyls were better and i might have just used it as is... i need to figure a way to get this to a machine shop now.. (i work too much)

Ohh.. and it's a 1985 block but not roller

Got off my butt and rubbed out my roof tonight. it's ok for 63 years old... doubt i will ever repaint it, i like having original paint....

Did break through a touch...

Soaked the bad cyls for 1 night in that evapomixture that i posted bout and it cleaned up nice.. the top inch didn't get soaked due to the rings letting the level drop... but the motor turns over fine now so i can at least get it apart...

that's also the same batch i used like 3 times 6 months ago..stuff lasts really well..

Rubbed my hood today... it's pretty bad... but... if i painted it, it would be worse will have to do.. paints 63 years old. can't complain.. broke through the edges a lot but meh...
