Tore the spare engine down. Very, very odd. Head is clean as a whistle, transmission has clearly been removed, but the shortblock is full of carbon/cooked oil/crap and the bearings are wiped out. So...it's off to the machine shop to see if the crank is saveable and how much the block needs to be bored.
That is odd. When I bought the 78 ems that engine came out of I was told "just had engine and transmission rebuilt" I even had a folder with a stack of receipts for about $3000 worth of machine shop and mechanics bills that came with the car. In fact I might still have it around somewhere, I should look and see exactly what was claimed to have been done. The crank will be fine unless it was really really abused. The cranks were forged and nitrided and they last forever.
