So this has been sitting soaking since Saturday. Still no move forward-reverse hand/strap wrench/breaker.

Going to let it sit a while until I get my blue project to the point of dropping off at shops for exhaust and such. Also, going to file for a bonded title for it before spending any money on it as until I get some sort of proof of ownership on it other than a BOS it’s a parts truck.

I did get the radio to come on though. Small victories.

Updating this, I’ve been dropping trans/acetone mix in each cylinder over the last few weeks. Still no real budge but I do have about 1/8” movement back/fourth.

Thinking about pulling the front pulley to attach a piece of bar to the balancer to push against with a Porta power.

At this point I think I'd consider pulling the oil pan so you can see a little better what's actually happening when you get that little bit of movement.

Not really in a spot to start taking this truck apart until I get this out of the way. Plan is to get it into the shop and pull the front clip to get better access to the motor.

Just kinda passively messing with it. I did find another engine on FB that turns and was pulled out in a treefiddy swap I may go get.

Giving up on it. Broke the balancer bolt off and she isn’t budging.

Considering it, but also considering a Craigslist rebuild on this old dog (5.7 out of an 1975 C30) and I have a returned/repaired sniper system on the shelf.

Still trying to find a running 6.2 and missed one out of a burb the other day for 800
