Gosh, ive only been able to get one piston and rod out.

Was able to pull about six lifters out. The others are still super stuck.

I had the cam gear wiggling just a hair but can't seem to get the crank to move at all yet.

That is a solid idea. I had pondered trying to cut the block. Your way seems easier.

I did grab some new parts for my trucks engine. This lip spacer allows the use of the filter Ford started using on the SDs. Filters the oil before it goes to the hpop. Also my oil cap was starting g to feel brittle.
