Rescued a slant today

I got this from a old guy that told me he had this engine hanging from a tree by a rope for over 8 years. Had a newly rebuilt trans at the time he strView attachment 1715231731 View attachment 1715231732 ung it up. Needless to say the engine is seized up. But the trans spins on both ends , haven't checked inside.Looks like about all I can salvage is some pulleys, brackets and maybe the pan. Not sure what year it is but it has the peanut head which I believe has a hydrolic lifters? he said it came out of Aspen. Is the head worth saving or anything else for that matter? Was hoping it had the 2 barrel intake but didn't. Cant believe that rope lasted 8 years.

Way to go...

I agree about the rope lasting that long... :wtf:
