I started tearing down a 312 today to hopefully rebuild it for my '57 T-bird.  I had attempted to tear down the original motor from the Bird 3 yrs ago but was foiled by not being able to budge the rotating assembly.  (couldn't access all the rod bolts)  I'm afraid I'm looking at the same thing again.  I filled the cylinders with PB Blast over 2 years ago, and of course it's still seized.  I'm hoping someone here might have a trick or two for getting THIS Y-block apart they wouldn't mind sharing.  I'm at a total loss for what to do next. Thank You In Advance
