Best of luck. 45 years from being rotated might scare me away. You may get lucky though. Hope so.

Ok got the motor, $300. havent tried to rotate it.It was in a head on fatal accident in 1974.

Well that pretty much rules out it being a 2f.

Interesting situation. Kinda creepy that it has been stopped since a fatal accident.

That valvetrain does look pristine on top.

other than driving satans car and it trying to kill everyone that wrongs you, and eventually you as well, the upside of never having to worry about rust and rock rash ever again certainly has a appealing upside.
