    Hi there.. For any future rusty cylinder// rusty rings stuck // Brake fluid will dissolve rust quickly. Faster than white vinegar. The DOT 3 brake fluid will find small passages...and then use your torch to heat the block...expand it, and then pry on the flywheel.

    Looks like they ran it with a blown head gasket until it would run no more . We had a 61 Chevy with a 235 and drove it fully loaded with 3 people and some of our personal effects when we moved in 1970 from New Jersey to Arizona and 6 months later to New York . With the exception of a broken water pump hub in New Mexico car ran flawless. Good engines .

    Almost bought one just like this 30
    years ago. A customer on my paper
    route was selling it for $300. His was
    283 power glide car with very little
    rust. I had the cash in hand, and
    when I went to pick it up, my friend
    called me and told the car was damaged by a tree the night before
    during a severe thunderstorm. The
    tree landed on the roof and crushed
    it. He wound up selling it as a parts
    car instead. As for this car, I'd use a
    231 V-6 and a 700R4 tranny. If you
    ever find another one of these, I
    might be interested. And if it's a
    wagon, so what! Would need to be
    an automatic transmission car though. Now THAT I could use to
    build the rusty Chevrolet of yupor fame.

    Memories, my Grandfather bought one new in 1962, Belair, 4 door post, 6-cylinder, 3 on the tree, radio delete, no PS, no PB, as basic as you can get, just a heater. He did add plastic seat covers to preserve the material. Could not have cost more than $2400. No one had much money in those days for luxury items. A car was a luxury item in 1962. No frills transportation for work and grocery shopping. My parents bought a new 1963 Impala 283 V8 4 door hardtop and an AM radio for $2800. He thought that was too much. He should only know what I have now.

    I dragged a 63 Impala 2D HT out of the bush in the late 90s. The sticker on the tag was 1974. The only visible rust was the rear quaters. The drivers floor was the worst, and there were holes in the trunk by the shock towers (or whatever they're called) but overall the car was straight. I took it all apart, but gave up and sold it. Haven't seen it since.

    you should always pull the valve cover because the engine may not turn over because of stuck valves and if you force it over you bend push rods and destroy parts the best thing is to take the VC off tap the valves make sure they are all free then if they are pry on the flex plate/flywheel. I have got many engine unstuck and find that many are because of stuck valves not stuck pistons anyway just a little tip from someone that's been in the saving old cars game for over 25 years

Theres a proper tool for that, and it wouldnt have risked breaking off a cpl teeth, cracking the bell housing, or worse a bar slipping and cracking your knuckles onto something rusty..You still have alot to learn..dont be pissed dude, I'm 40 yrs Gm and Porsche Audi ASE certified master tech..I wouldnt be where I am if I didnt learn and listen to ALOT of constructive criticism..happy holidays to you Ryan..

    If it rolled, why didn't you just drag it from where it was with the trailer and a chain. That would have been less back breaking.

      @@IowaClassicCars No not always, I at least understood why you moved the car the way you did.
      I'm betting that thing must have gotten hotter than hell & as head gasket gave out, just steamed the hell outta the inside of the engine. NOT that you're going to pursue it, but I'd bet bottom end may look the same.
      Good save, Merry Christmas ICC!

    Too cool a car too just let her go. 235s are a great motor. In the 60s we would hot rod them with a header and a two carb intake. Big difference.

      @@IowaClassicCars , I beg to differ. 235's are incredibly tough and pull great. That's what I run in my one ton Chevy panel. I pull a heavy trailer every day with it and have pulled stumps with that truck. I've also moved a couple of mobile homes, one of which was a 60 footer. The best thing is the fuel economy. I generally get between 12 and 15 MPG pulling a loaded 16 ft trailer and 18 to 20 MPG running empty. That's not too shabby for a one ton truck that weighs around 7,000 lbs. A stock 283 of that year won't have much more get up and go than a 235 and won't get the fuel economy of the six cylinder. I know because I have driven both the small block V8 and the six cylinder. Besides, I think you would be surprised what a souped up 235 can do. Anyway, each to their own.
      By the way, it's a shame about that engine. My guess is a busted head or block. It looks like too much coolant for a blown head gasket. Glad you saved another old Chevy.
      Edit: Oops, I miss read the "this" as "the". My apologies.
