[FWDLK] Need and Engine

[joe frega <joefrega@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

Just an update on Jason's blown 277 in his 56
Belvedere - We tried getting the engine from our
second car to turn.  It's frozen up.  I have pulled
the plugs and filled it with penitrating oil.  We'll
go back next weekend to see if we can get it to move a
little.  We'll try a breaker bar and pipe on the bolt
at the front of the crank to see if that works.  I'm
not overly optimistic, but you never know.  I also
need to fill it up with water and see if it holds or
if the block is cracked from the freezing Chicago
winters.  Interestingly, the plugss looked good and
the oil was clean.  Like I said, it was suposedly
running 5 years ago, then sat 3 years in Texas and 2
years here in Chicago with nothing being done to it.

Anyway, this is our first option.  Our second option
is to find another 277 that runs to replace our blown
one.  We have two possibles (both from list members)
but we're looking into more options before we decide.

If any of you belong to (or have a contact on) another
list, would you mind putting out a query to see if
anyone has a functional 277 for sale?  Jason and I
would really appreciate your help.  Just have them
email me directly at: joefrega@xxxxxxxxx

Thanks again.

Joe and Jason
56 Belvedere(s)??????
