Yup, I tore the motor down and took it through the  passenger door

it was not easy!!!Ya know while I was sitting here I started to play with the buttons and guess I did something I probably shouldn't have done????There I changed it back....My daughter4 hates it when I play with my computer!!!
We got her a lap top a few years ago and she spends more time on mine than she does on hers...
Any way back at the ranch..Motor is ready to drop back in but have to wait for the trans to get rebuilt.  then I can see No body will be around to help me, just like the day we pulled the motor.
four guys told me yea, I'll be over---Yeeea. sure. Oh well, my daughter learned alot.
Having fun in the sun.  JohnE. :)

I tried that with the Chevelle SS ,,, only one guy showed up out of 207 that come to the meetings every month...
They know me too well I guess... But they do show up when we have a BBQ.  We have about 150 show up at the last one... Parking got to be a joke..
Neighbors called the cops "no place to park."
The noise of the engines yada yada yada......
All the burgers you can eat and cokes to drink or ice tea.
I have never asked for a cent from anyone that shows up, I just ask them to have a good time.
Well, on that note I better get to bed, been up for 28 hours straight, daughter was in an accident
on her way home from collage yesterday. She took her moms car the Vw the tow car and was
hit head on by a RED light running commy Vietnamese lady that told the cops that she was LOST!!!!
They got the accident on video camera "YEA!!"  But the poor little Vw is sad to look at..
At least she did have insurance!!! another plus..   Daughter is very bruised and sore but she is just as tuff as her Dad.  I am the guy that sets his own broken fingers.... You guys have a great night!!!! John E.

 Thank you so very much PD2,,  I think that she will recover just fine.

As far as the Poor Vw, well I think the jury is going to be out on that one for a while.

She is supposed to start her Poliece Academy in six months I just hope that her back will heal in that time.

Later Gater!! John E. :)

I spotted a Dodge van at a repair shop with the engine out from the front, going to stop and take a closer look at it as I have never done that.

Hi Jerry, I tore the 440 down that was in our rig and did manage to take it through the door........

I probably should have taken it through the front.  Let me know what you find out.. I will be interested

in the out come..  John :)

When we replaced the timing chain on my 360 I took everything off the front.  Didn't take too long.  After the front grill and such is off it would be easy to stick a cherry picker in there and hoist out the engine.  Hope I never have to do it.

Same here!
When I painted mine I left the front bumper on as it looked "no fun" to take off let alone all that other stuff.

Speaking of the bumper, I can't beleive how good the chrome is on these bumpers!!!

No rust I just polished the bumpers yesterday and they look like new.

Wish that the Bumpers on my chevelle was that good....
