when i went to go pick him up. the previous owner wouldn't take money, and it was free. ralph is in rough shape, and will take lots of work to finish. this will be my main project for my sister. she is having car problems and she needs another car. i'm gonna rent it to her lol. when we pulled the engine out...

we found it weighed a lot more then it should have. right when we took off the valve covers, like 2 gallos of water just gushed out. kinda funny how you look on the other intake ports and there is water there too. right after that, i saw some cooling fins that looked messed up. found out it was a chunk of the cylinder. a closer look revealed the rod was put thrugh the case and cylinder. i'm thinking this isn't gonna be
the engine to run. sofar a very fun project. more updates later
