Finally pulled my motor!!

I finally got around to pulling the motor out of our 81 GS project car. Took about 2 and a half hours total to get the motor and tranny out. And about 3 hours to stip it down to a short block. Tomorrow I will figure out a way to pull the flywheel and then have some real fun. I am hoping to find a chipped apex seal or maybe an oil seal. The rotor housings better not be cracked!!

Where could I get there parts cheap? They do not need to be the greatest quality (not gonna be a daily driver).

This is gonna be fun

(the car has not been on the road for 10 years, and I only know that the rear rotor does not fire, best way to find out what's wrong is to pull it apart!)

You pulled an engine apart just because it didnt fire (no spark) on the rear rotor? Or was it because it had no compression? Oh well, either way, what parts are you looking for? Im sure the housings arent cracked, but chipped and flaking chrome is highly possible (bad housings).
