The good news with the motor is that when I drained the radiator and crankcase there was no mixing of fluids so I'm guessing that the block isn't cracked. I did attempt to soak the cylinders over the winter but nothing would budge. Cylinders # 7 and #8 seem to be holding the penetrating oil so I would guess that's likely where the hang-up is.

I did pull some EM clutch pieces in order to facilitate head removal. All of those parts were labeled and come with the car. Anything else that you see missing was removed as I poked around the engine when I first brought it home. All of those piece have also been bagged and labeled and come with the car. (Radiator isn't pictured, but I have that, too.)
