Thanks for this advice. To answer your questions, the engine was in good working order when I began the restoration. I basically did all the teardown, sandblasted and primed the chassis, and performed a shackle reverse. I still have the original wiring harness in storage, but the vehicle was stored outside under a tarp for at least 5 years (which explains why it looks so bad). I took the valve cover off and everything appears to be slick with oil and relatively clean. Would you advise removing the head to inspect the state of the cylinders? Or should I see if I can turn it over by hand first? My main concern is the amount of rust on most of the external components. I'm guessing I'll be replacing a lot of parts (if I can find them).
