More from Jim.
"I had a chance to work on the Packard block today, and paint the head, motor mount brackets, the new water pump and the pulley. Plus removed, inspected and repainted the oil pump. A buddy of mine came over and we made block rests out of 6X6 pieces of wood to protect the head bolts when we flipped the block onto its top. Friday I was able to remove the old frost plugs and the water pump and water transfer tube so I could flush out the block. The garden hose took a lot of the 62 year old sledge out, but the pressure washer finished up the rest of the block sludge(The driveway and gutters are all rust colored now). I'm praying for rain... a lot of rain...LOL. After the block was cleaned and dried, I painted the block an engine hi-temp grey, then tackled the head"
