Started checking out the 88 gl wagon I recently aquired and discovered a lockedup engine. The engine can be turned backwards but will syop with a loud clunk when rotated correctly. Don't see any rods sticking out anywhere but something is amiss.

Going to drop the engine out of my old d/l into it if i can. It will fit fine but I am down to one hand for awhile. A kickback from table saw did a number on 3 fingers on left hand.

Wish me luck!!

You'll do fine, these engines are SO easy to swap...

 

Hope the hand gets better though!
