The tear-down of Jake's 65 begins....

Pulled the heart of her today... I've never lthe motor/trans together before - I've always seperated them while in the car....was interesting, but the motor is seized up, so we did it as a unit. Hoping to be able to save it, but if not, I have a 69 318 to donate to it. After cutting the exhaust pipe off, and unbolting the left exhaust manifold, out she came..... We did verify that it's an early model year build car - the engine (is original and doesn't appear to been apart before) was cast in Aug 1964. We did not find a build sheet anywhere in the car when we removed the interior.
