Hey guys,
Just wanted a bit of advice. I'm stripping down & ripping an early long block. the engine is seriously seized & is going to be tricky ...any advice on how to approach this. Do I use penetrating oil ..suggestions will be great 
Cheers

| If you have a barrel large enough to submerge the block, fill the barrel with enough diesel to cover the motor and let it soak in it a couple days. It will work wonders. |

WD 40, penetrating oil, freezing temperature rust remover spray cans, a torch, heavy hammer and wooden blocks. just use them all! 
all you really need is time ! be patient.

Sounds like the kitchen sink....Just another question
Can I split the block without taking the barrels off! |

You can leave the 3/4 side barrels on and split the case, but I don't see why you would want to. |
