I'm going to clean everything up in the next few weeks, and disassemble it, down to the block.

I separated the transmission from the motor today.

I have no use for it so I will offer it up on a couple local classic car sites.
I want to tear down the motor to see what condition the block is in. From there I will decide to keep it or kick it to the curb.

Pretty much all you can do is disassemble the motor and send the block in to the machine shop to be magnafluxed.
If its got no cracks you are good to go. Then you just have to splurge on the 7-10k to rebuild it...

Flathead, no es bueno.

A major crack in the cylinder means I will keep looking. Will hold on to the heads, intake , accessories for now.

Looks like it's had some valve work done on it in the past, so you might find a set of adjustable lifters under that aluminum intake. You don't often see a RH head gasket installed on the left side, but it must have worked. Keep the pictures coming! - Bob

Tough luck. But as planned, keep the doodads for resale or use if you find incomplete motor with good block.

This is my salvage pile; considering keeping the crankshaft and cam but probably not.

The block will go to the salvage yard this week.

That one did not need magna fluxed, did it, to see it was bad.

Save the front pulleys, the front spacer on the crank (if you can get it off), and any bolts that are good (flywheel and PP in particular). If the cam gear is aluminum that is also worth keeping.

Save all thick head bolts.
Save all bolts that look unusual, like generator mount

PP is pressure plate (bolts). I'm wondering if it has an 11" pressure plate and a 10" clutch disc? The flywheel surface has a "funny" look to it. - Bob
