The crank did not have a pulley and I have no bell housing or anything. I have the oil pan, fan, and generator though

I'll talk to my dad about it tonight I could probably make that work lol.
That was full of so much good information thank you so much I'll post an update once I get the water pumps and timing cover off. Thank you for the...

Ok, I'll stay patient
The motor is frozen so I was planning to let it sit with something in each cylinder to help motivate it to free up
Thank you very much for the advice.
Is that impressive? I'm obviously new here lol
It may be my extremely crappy phone
I'll post some tomorrow
Thank you, old stuff is so much cooler than new stuff and I'd hate to see interest in classic cars die. I'm doing my best to keep old hotrods alive.
Thank you guys so much for all the advice I'll check all this stuff out tonight before I go to bed
Thank you for the good luck lol. I couldn't see any cracks either.
