This particular Patty made poor yard art so we hastened its departure. Even the most rancid parts car can yield positive surprises: power antenna still works! The engine turned???!! (but piston #1 didn't move; rod was snapped in half something I have never seen. I think I spot a small inclusion in the forging near the oil hole) Piston is undamaged and so is the cylinder bore. No cracks apparent near the valve seats and the crank is beautiful. Also, input shaft on the trans shows no wear; that bodes well for the balance of it.

Anyone like a good 359 builder? Or built? Free connecting rod with every purchase.
