WHat an *** beating.

texas heat and me and 70 year old father pinning it today.

The old flywheel was very bent.

TIPS from today:

To pull the motor you dont need to remove the exhaust manifolds.
To Install the motor, its a pretty good idea to remove them if you have not removed your exhaust pipe totally away.

Engine looked like new. freeze plugs and it was grease free. etc.

by the end of today I have it back in, bell housing bolts TC bolts all in.

I figure about two more hours before first start.

 

great work. keep us posted. and some pics of the process would be nice if you have them.
