Does anybody have any info on the Cut Away displays?

I just had one show up today. Will have photos later on.

EDIT** Data Tag on Dash has No. 2R 7470 on it.

That's either really cool or a shame. Not sure yet.

Army is the one that did it. Supposedly 1 of 10 done as a Training aid.

Is that the one that came from Gerald Creley's (last name spelling?) and was owned by R.A. at some point? Looks just like it or similar.

so that motor in the passenger compartment turns the whole drive train?

Ok then, you do seem to come up with the rare and uncommon ones I will say. I have a cut away starter, that is about it.

This is actually from the Sam Warner Collection. We are redoing it for the New museum being made Near Chattanooga. The best info I can give is its from (sounded like he said) Fort Dix surplus? Before that Mark at Rappco Bought it and didn't even make it home with it before Sam Warner saw it and bought it.

Yes!! I have high aspirations for this project. I am hoping to restore this function best I can. However Engine, Transmission and rear diff are frozen. I am 80% sure there is no rods or pistons in it via the stick test. Right now taking apart the engine see if I can at least get it to turn over by hand. So far rockers will not move and about to drop the oil pan see what it looks like. When I pulled the oil pan plug red thin fluid came out (looks like ATF) and then gallon of water came out.

Which brings me to the next question, any questions on lubrication if I succeed if getting it freed up? I am guessing the low rpms will not draw oil via the engine pump. So I was thinking some heavy grease (or lucas oil stabilizer stuff) coat all moving parts basically with it.

So you just need the crank and the camshaft. That should be an easy job to free it up then.

Well I'll be a monkeys uncle, she has rods and pistons. Can I pull them out through the bottom or do I need to remove the head?

Head or remove the crank. Whatever is easier for you

Got the Rods and pistons removed. Pistons were frozen to walls and rods to pistons. Had to use a Air chisel to get them out. Ended up removing head as well. Ended up pulling the middle cap off to allow the crank to turn easy. (enough by hand without force) Freed up the lifters and cleaned pushrods. I'll have a photo or two tonight. Going to put assembly lube on the crank mains to help lube when in motion. I sprayed lubed the cam and lifters with LPS.
