Didn't think I would scrape, Sides me cutting mine I have nothing invested into it except for the angle grinder i had bought many months back just for this :p

So far the fronts are done, really not to bad to do compared to the Lincoln Mark VIII I had that was a royal pain to do.

I'm thinking that there was a bit more mileage on the engine then what the odometer read out, almost all of the bearings you can see copper on except for the mains.

On the bright side is, I always wanted to make a coffee table from an engine block and now I got the chance to lol

^^^funny you should say that. i cracked my oil pan crossing some train tracks last year, i went home cleaned it up with a drummel. i made the hair line crack into a slight v-groove then jb welded that bad boy...been dry since.
i have a spare pan if ever it fails...but i am still hopeful.
