Can I post about an actual Lbc engine?  No potty or wind.

I took my short block to my dad's shop and stripped it down,  with the crank 
out I managed to drive out 3 pistons using a bfh.  The 4th is stuck tight.  I'm 
soaking it overnight w/ ph blaster then tomorrow one last try before we drive 
home.  I think thE pistons will clean up and can be used, and the cylinders 
don't look all that bad.  The wrist pins are stuck but can probably free up 
with a little work.  Then w/ rings, gaskets and bearings I'll be back in 
business.  It has sure been a lot of trouble so far.
