Hi Scott
In regards to rust. It can be very deceptive as it takes up several times the volume of the original metal so often looks far worse than it is.
I had a 230 cubic inch Dodge side valve engine that had water in the cylinders for years when I got it and the rust so bad it was like someone had poured corn flakes into it. There were stalactites in the cylinders and I pulled a sleeve in half when driving out a piston (it had been rebuilt at one time) After reconditioning, that engine now powers my 6x6 Weapons Carrier.
Phil seems to be on top of the stovebolt six stuff so I won't butt in again.
Like many others I will be very interested to follow your progress so keep the updates coming.

Cheers

David
