Question removal of '81 rx 7 engine

Hey i got an '81 rx 7 that sat for about 10 years in a shop, then about 5 more years in the back yard in tall grass. I finally got around to pulling it out of the tall grass. The engine is seized up and so i'm going to get another engine somehow.
In the mean time i need to drain all the fluids. THATS WHERE I NEED HELP. I already drained the oil so whats next? Where do i start?


ANYTHING WILL HELP THANKS

You might be able to unfreeze the motor. Look in the FAQ's. Use the transmission fluid trick. Many people have freed stuck motors.

You need to get all the fuel out of the tank, blow the lines out, probably rebuild the carb, or buy a used one. Once the motor is unstuck do a full tuneup, change antifreeze, then you can worry about the other gearboxes.

Search, as there are many old threads about how to deal with cars that have been sitting a long time.

Good luck.
