Well got the other head off along with the oil pan and timing cover. No surprises here, the timing chain is original and stretched. Broke one engine mount bolt that will have to be tapped out. Now to order a rebuild kit and some flat top pistons 
.
I will let the machine shop install the pistons on the rods and check the crank out but I have a feeling it's going to be in good shape.
I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking.

Absolutely LOVE this build diary. Read the whole thing top to bottom! Can't wait to see the fully finished project. I sold my Road Runner convertible a while back and now I'm looking for a 1977 or 76 LTC to resto-mod and drive wheels off of! Also following you over at the Lincoln forum.

You're really making me miss the '78 Town Coupe I had 30+ years ago.
