I bought the Jimmy from a junkyard with siezed engine. Its a 400 sbc and after pulling the heads, I figure it had a cracked block, then sat and rusted solid. It no movey no more.
BTW, thanks everyone for the help. I wasn't sure the tranny would pull away enough or if the torque converter would turn enough to come away from the tranny input shaft.
Longhorn 321, if you pull the pan on a siezed motor, you can loosen all the bolts, but if the pistons wont slide up the cylinder, the crank will not drop out. Because the rods are coming in at opposing angles, it will still be stuck, unless of course you use a torch to cut the rods. At that point, why bother.
