My GT goes under the knife...

Time for a little surgery to remove the engine & tranny. First, the patient before the surgery:



The patient already has the heads & intake removed, so we're down to the block. Next, we chain up the offending parts and get the tools ready:



Partway through the surgery, one of the surgeons (my friend Steve) poses for the camera. All the while, the patient is bleeding transmission fluid all over the concrete...



Finally, surgery is complete. And yet, I feel like I've caught a big fish rather than completed surgery.



New engine has arrived and needs some prep work. I'll hopefully be able to install it this month.
