scrap metal... or shine it up real nice, turn that sonofabitch sideways and shove it up... I mean, lay it on the living room floor and make a coffee table out of it

An old farmer's trick I still use to remove rust is molasses. Get a big tank, use a 4:1 ratio of water to molasses, and dunk the rusty bits in. Come back in about 3 or 4 weeks. As molasses ferments it has a chelating effect. I've dunked rustier parts than those in molasses and they came out looking freshly cast! I would suggest the traditional methods of hot tanking for the crank, head, and block, but i'd bet the rest will come out looking new! |

Too bad it wasn't a 198; at least you could have saved the rods. |

Doesn't look like the exhaust manifold is cracked. I'll bet the head is salvageable especially if oversize valves are used. |
