Yep! I pulled the OHC back when I was 16. Young and dumb. Kept it and the tranny around forever. Unfortunately, a divorce had the ex-wife clean out parts to the local junk yard without me knowing. Water under the bridge now. I actually have another 69 OHC and tranny I picked up in Ohio for it in the shop. REALLY thinking about going back to it. Original and all that. Not hard to rebuild and restore the OHC...
LOL, pulled it out to work on it! That does seem silly! In reality, I pulled it out to give it a good cleaning and go over it generally to see what I will be doing to her. Had about 3/4 dust on it (it was covered though). It will be going back in later this week after she breathes a little. It is actually on a really nice Rotary scissors lift at the lowest height. Hydraulic pump is protected under the wheelbarrow. I pulled it out of the shop just for the purpose of getting her up so I could clean it good and assess the years of storage damage.
