Thank you all for all the most helpful info..

I know I ask a lot of questions, Some may seem stupid, But I'm just trying to learn.

So again thank you

First the last cylinder did have moisture on it, although that cylinder had strong compression.

Fallowing another post, I poured ATF on all the pistons, ( head off), I came back the next day and all still had ATF on them, Except the first one, telling me the rings are stuck or broke, Right??
I have prices all the machine shop work needed, and its over 70% more then I was expecting.. Sticker shock.

So what to do??
I want the stock motor, but this being my first frame off I'm starting to think I'm in over my head..
I'm doing this with my teen boys, wanting them to learn..

here is what I an working onhttp://1949packardsuper8.blogspot.com
