Thanks Jerry.
I studied your recommendations in other threads and may well go that route. I don't have any use for this engine and don't ever expect to.
I am trying to salvage it for someone who may need one some day.
Before I do anything else, I am going turn the engine upside down on a piece of plywood and remove the oil pan to see how bad the rust may be on the bottom end.
