Since these pics I've torn everything down to bare block. Everything looks great. Rod bearings have a little wear. I'm going to rebearing it, along with new rings. Should make a good vehicle when I'm done.

Right on man I'm in the process of doing from the heads up on mine, i lost a lifter on mine it collapsed then came apart bent pushed and beat up the rocker a bit. I'm gonna be doing a rebuild myself here soon on a different block though, gotta have reliable transportation in the mean time. Did you figure out why #4 was so rusted?

4 years sitting with a blown head gasket. But it looks like I'll be looking for a motor. The cam has some rust pits on the lobes. For the cost of a cam and a gasket, ring, and bearing kit, it's too much for a maybe with #4 cylinder being ate up like it is
