I was worried about the main bearings but I guess they would be okay? One vehicle I saw where I guy just kept driving and driving and they just melted away. The crank shaft was a mess. It was a GMC suv from the early 80s
Worst case of overheating damage I ever seen was a 318 out of a 73 charger, I got the engine off a guy I bought a 70 Challenger off of.
He said the car yard drove, and he pulled the engine and trans, and sat in outside covered with a tarp.
It was free, and complete so I hauled it home. Buy the time I got around to it, I was locked up, I figured from sitting outside....
Wrong, the soft plugs were rusted out on the back of the heads, the crank was ok but needed turned, the big issue was the piston pins were seized in the pistons.
That is getting an engine hot. I guess it yard drove, until it did not.
