I decided to pull the head to see what was up after all. The two center cylinders seem to be the culprit of the motor being stuck. It looks to me that moisture got in thru the carb from it sitting for who knows how long. The other 4 cylinders look great. Im trying to decide whats the best way to...

I will probebly end up doing a frame off restoration eventually. My day job is a heavy equipment operator so getting the body off wouldnt be to much of an issue. I want to hear it run first though.
