No I didn't take off the pan mainly because I've been trying to finish work. I don't have high hopes for it and am now on the path to finding a good, low mileage 2F to swap out. Fingers crossed.

Time for a v8 conversion
Dynosoar
If I had the time to invest and extra money to make it happen I seriously would. If I had even MORE money and more time I'd also do a diesel.
Dang that sucks! You've had your share of suckiness with that rig.
You're beyond it now, but to check for a seized motor I would have put it in fourth on flat ground and pushed it back and forth like I do when looking for TDC.
Wishing you luck finding a solid 2f,
Butt

Yeah this thing has been a royal pain in my ass. I need to take care of all the bugs and make it perfect before I sell it to someone for no where near enough money
Tried the 4th gear trick, its like the parking brake is on. It moves only as far as the springs let it move.
Here is how she looks today. Its too bad because I just got the Goodyear MTR 315s on it two weeks ago
Nice stance anyhow! I hope you're able to sort it all out without bailing. If you do decide to bail, put me in line

Yeah my wife wants me to consider selling it but at this point there is too much into as is and would just be a sad depressing day to get rid of it. And of course the vultures will come picking at it being as the motor is toast. Pretty sure I will hold on to it unless the wifey puts her foot down. Dont see that happening tho

How about $550 ? (LET THE AUCTION START!)
Remember that guy, Henry, on Wilbur? He had a 2F out of a rolled 60 ... But I didn't keep his number
Maybe I still have his email, if you want to contact him... ?

Its a boat anchor. Actively looking for a good 2F
I was wondering what actually failed/broke and what was the cause?

Oh I dont have the time to tear into it because I will be leaving to Amsterdam in exactly a week and I have too much to do to prepare for it. Once I know, I will report back.
Oh ok. Thanks.
Have fun.
Have fun.
sounds like you "spun" the #1 rod bearing, it got real hot. when the wify pulled over to the side of the road and tried to restart it, the rod had welded itself to the crank, the starter turned the motor and broke the rod
