Too bad. Maybe I'll drop the pan and see how bad it really is...

Your input would be appreciated

Can the crank be "pulled"?

[1meanz]

it can be if you pull the tranny.i say just pull the pan off, take a terry cloth to the crank, put new bearings in the rods, and go on about your life. might last a life time, might knock upon startup.

This is what I'll probably do

Fuq-it, drop a 200shot NOS kit on it, take it to the track and skool some stangs till it pops!

remove the torque converter bolts and starter and remove from the block. its not too bad. of course timing cover and chain too. it beats pulling the engine.
