Bad news, my engine guy says he's tried for a week but the siezed pistons won't budge, now on the hunt for another block.

........welcome Capt Beaumont..............you will like it here...........are you also on Canadian Poncho........
these guys helped me a lot building the 61 348 and the 63 409......
..as for not getting the pistons out.........I pulled a 348 from a ditch and you couldn't see where the piston ended
and the cylinder started.................about an hour a piston first heat, WD 40, pound w/8lb weight and they start to
move about a mm at a time..........ended up sleeving 6 of the cylinders and boring .030 and that was a smooth
running 'W'.................so don't give up.......a good shop can sleeve a cylinder and it will be better than orig...

Here is a anti seize formula that always works on anything Ive used it on including frozen pistons. 50/50 ATF/Acetone. To aid your removal on the pistons do as suggested also by drilling holes in pistons.

Well no need, I got a bare block, now to get it magna flux

If your interested in selling the "junk" block let me know. I may have to build a "W" so the death threats here stop (Mopar #1)

Sorry had to trade it in as a core for the new one

We could have pretended i had a W so James and Bob quit contacting my ex about splitting up my stuff after a car "accidentally" falls on me.

The engine guy didn't try hard enough,the piston is the weak link. Hope theres not a bill for the week of labour
