I think that someone tried to remove the bolt by blocking the pulley with something to turn the bolt, and that's how it was broken. My question is how to block the engine so that the bolt can be turned. Is there a tool or something easily accessible that can be placed in the flywheel teeth? Or...

So I know at least one method of removing the crank pully nut that doesn't work.... Any suggestions? I looked at the vin compared to the motor, they don't match. I also pulled a string across the frame. How much sag if forgivable? Passenger side - deepest point at about the gear shifter...

Thanks guys. How many digits is the vin stamped on the frame?

Still haven't started with the starter, more questions to come there eventually...

Thanks for the help again. I have yet to run a line to test the frame, but I'll post my findings. Are the screws necessary? I was hoping to use JB weld to block the holes. Here's where the holes mark the gasket...

John, These are the two holes I found that don't correspond. Am I missing any? What would recommend to block them? Thanks! Wyatt

Thanks for the warm welcome. Good advice already, that'll get me started. I wish I had more time to work on it.
