Done it a few times, one ran pretty good- a F*rd 177 6
cyl, broke it loose with lots of wd-40 and a large prybar cw/ccw & starter
lots of times, smoked like a locomotive when we pushed it up and down the
street then ran great after a few days of blowby, sold it and put in a v8
later.
Now, my '58 350- sat under the hood and a oak tree for
~35 years- I dropped a wd-40 'red tube' into #8, pulled the heads, broke it
loose, spent $160 on a valve job and another ~$85 on a 'valve-grind' gasket
set, and ~$150 for starter (had no core) -it didn't have enough compression to
even pop unless the disti was 180 out, checked with a gauge and I had ~30-60
lbs/cyl! Guess the rings were so stuck it would need at least that + a
bore. Found a nice deal on a running '57 KD500-1 and all is well (except
for the floorboards etc etc.)
(-Gee, should I still save the 'numbers matching 350,'
or . . . (Sierra Wagon)??

So now that I've established that the engine I have is frozen into a rather nice anchor, I have a few questions. Please keep in mind the following: It is a non-matching #'s engine, and it'd be cheaper to buy a reman for this particular application than to have it rebuilt, so the motive behind unsticking it is to get it to turn, then get it to run, then use it, where it is, as is. Do I have any hope of it running properly? If so, what is the best way to get it unstuck? Thanks all, Dave
