    I think i should win the award for worst condition motor ever.. This was the original 72 302.. The wrecker guys said it was a "perfect running 302" does this look like it runs good guys?

    I was pretty sure I was holding that title. My 200 had standing water in #3 and seized to the wall. I gave it to the local Vo-Tech it was so bad. But I think you have me beat.

    Pour some applecider vinegar in it and let it sit a few days and it will honestly come un stuck. May not be as bad as you think.

    Very similar to what my 351 Cleveland looked like inside when it filled up with water from sitting outside, under the hood of the Maverick, for 15 years without a distributer or carb in place - it was bored 30 over due to the cylinder rust and that is when it became a 393 (y)
