At this point there's no harm and minimal amount of work to get the pan back down since I haven't put the cross members back in yet. Can the rod bearings be changed without pulling the girdle? It's been a while since I had it down, but I dont recall there being a lot of room. I'm not afraid to do any of the work, I got nothing (not much) to loose, but right now I have a running engine..(badly running), but I just don't want to get it all taken apart, find out the bearing is spun then what...lots more money to spend..and on a car that money might have been better spent recouping at salvage price and putting into one with less miles and in better overall condition.

Consider this, there is one on ebay right now for 17900. Chances are it can be had for 17, Even if I parted mine out I could prob get 5 leaving me with only about 12k for a pretty nice looking car with far lower mileage (40k) and it's only 5 hours from me. Though he says it was bumped in the front, fixed and the windshield wipers hit the hood. anyway, I know I'm rambling.
