I have done more disassembly of the car. The pistons are exposed now that I have the heads off the engine, but it's still soaking to free it up. I'm trying to be patient, but may soon realize that a major rebuild is the only way of getting this thing going. Here are some pics, including the engine mostly disassembled, the intake manifold as removed, and the manifold as restored, with the two carbs sitting on top of it (WOW!). Also pictured are the removed heads, the exhaust manifolds, a before-and-after of a valve cover, and a few other parts. Enjoy!
