    seized 98 vortec 350

    seized 98 vortec 350

    haven't seen anything relevant to removing a seized motor from a transmission. any pointers i should know before it warms up enough in a week or 2 to get this underway? just got myself a replacement motor from a fine fine looking prairie truck, want to get my truck going as soon as i can.
