Thanks guys.
These GM A-bodies cram the engine down on the front X-member, so pull pan = pull engine. The crazy thing is the PO wasn't an idiot, but said he couldn't get the engine to move with a cheater pipe. I got it to spin with a small ratchet. Engine has some oil in it.
I have a bill of sale, but no title yet. The points ignition system is apart, and the ign key is gone. So I'm not gonna put much work into this thing before I get it legal-like.
Will bad bearings rattle when I spin it over with the starter? I hear a little noise when I turn it over by hand, but unsure how serious.
