Post 23 is a sample, from another member, of what a TBF looks like. Mine is post 33. The area is rough to the touch. Also the crank is frozen. It will not turn. I did not see anything noticeable in the oil pan.

What are your feelings about the head?

Well, I am at a point now where I have to put the project aside for several weeks. I will be traveling to the west coast and back. I am looking forward getting back and finishing my car. My next move is to secure an engine or a block.

What does everyone suggest I replace, in the motor compartment, while the motor is out? Thanks for all your help.

The most time consuming thing is cleaning the engine bay.

Other than that any issues with the steering rack, now is the time to attend to them.

Motor mounts.

Everything on the motor.
