my father and grand father always swore by useing coke classic in the cylinders and letting it sit i can't remember how long i think it was either 1 day or 1 week. I personally have never done this as I have never messed with a froze engine but I know I've heard of this method before from others.

Mix up 50% type F tranny fluid & 50% acetone in a squirt bottle. Pull the plugs & fill each slug up as much as poss. If that dont break it free nothing will :thup:

Buddy of mine had a 68'ish caddy with the 500 in it. Talk about a massive piece of iron.

yeah, real cool. love the big caddys! i un-froze one with straight diesel in the cylinders and a breakover bar. check the frame for rust at the kick ups behind the front tires. they are famous for that.
i would love to see picks.

Diesel, ATF and a little Aero Kroil mixed. Works like a charm.
