Guy is a member here, has a thread about it in the TX regional forum. Good luck getting it running, it didnt get wet, it was under 4 feet of water. The interior is filled with mud also.

Getting the motor running isn't so much a problem as getting the interior clean and no smelly. It would need to be stripped down to the body and everything inside replaced.

Getting it running would just mean pulling the plugs and cranking it over, possibly a new PCM and changing the oil. Spraying some marvel mystery oil in the cylinders before cranking would be wise.

not to hijack this thread, but my neighbor found a 50 gallon barrel of Royal Purple washed up on the beach in Corpus Christi over the weekend

its sealed brand new, he hasnt checked to see what weight it is, the label was washed off, but there is a part number on the top and bottom and one on the cap

hurricanes, damn
