[T3] t1 eng in a t3

[Erick Williams <onet34me@yahoo.com>]

Hello everyone,

I know you can put at1 eng in a t3 but how much stress
in put onto the t1 eng? I need to do this because my
t3 eng is all in pieces beacause the car sat so long
in nowhere CO for 10-18 years. A friend of mine told
me to correctly "free" the engine from its frozen
state is to fill the entire crankcase with a really
light weight oil and wait about 2 weeks then drain.
Take a wrench and turn the crank pulley bolt about a
1/4 turn in each direction. then when you complete a
full revolution, put 3 qts of light weight oil in and
let sit for another 2-3 days. Then turn eng over with
no spark or gas. let it cycle for about 10 full
revolutions. Then drain oil and refill again. I know
it sound like alot of oil to go through but what ended
up happening to me was that the constant position of
the eng wore a "dead spot" in all the crank bearings,
buckets, and cam. Thus when I crank the puppy over i
grinded everything down to almost nothing before any
oil got to it. All my mains were shot, I could move
the pulley back and forth myself about a full in.
Sorry to be so long. Back to my ques. 
The same good friend of mine has a t1 eng he will lend
me until I get my fasty eng rebuilt (to a quick
reliable 1776 I might add). I want to put some heat
tape on the header I will use to help keep the poor
uninsulated thing cooler. Any sugs? Agian sorry this
is long but I really don't want to fry my buddy's eng.

Thanks everybody --- erick
