Me, apparently.Whichever of the two first options you choose is gonna result in some f'd up S550 parts. A bare 351 is gonna weigh what?...150? What kind of he man is gonna be able to set that thing directly in the front seat floor from a dead lift?
And I think the block is around 100 lbs.
Or roughly 1/6th the weight of the damn E7 heads I had to pull off the car last night.
You cannot cry about having to lift cast iron out if an engine bay until you have personally done one of the following:Or roughly 1/6th the weight of the damn E7 heads I had to pull off the car last night.
It's entirely possible. I just wish I still had the energy of my 23 year old self and could work in the garage without eating or drinking for 15 straight hours and not having a wife to bitch about car parts.who'd have thought that working on a car was aerobic activity?
dude....the one we just bought may have me built like Sgt. Rock by the time it's done.
Add 3 kids to that situation and you're in my world of getting progress done "eventually"It's entirely possible. I just wish I still had the energy of my 23 year old self and could work in the garage without eating or drinking for 15 straight hours and not having a wife to **** about car parts.
Ahhhh, the good old daysIt's entirely possible. I just wish I still had the energy of my 23 year old self and could work in the garage without eating or drinking for 15 straight hours and not having a wife to **** about car parts.

Wait, a wife that b!tches about car parts????
Actually, mine quit doing that... Now when i buy parts, she buys a new gooney bird purse.
You probably already know this, but I'll give a quick warning/heads up of something I learned the hard way:
No sh*t? Wow. Fortunately, I didn't do that even though I thought about it. WHEW!You probably already know this, but I'll give a quick warning/heads up of something I learned the hard way:
Do NOT let pistons soak in degreaser too long. I once had a set I was cleaning up, and this was over a labor day weekend. Went to a BBQ and left a couple soaking in a bucket, with every intention of finishing up when I got back. Ended up not getting to it till the next morning, and that degreaser had eaten the pistons, and siezed the rings/pins onto the pistons.

LOL of course that's what I used. I did dip it in a bucket of water and then blew it dry with compressed air, so should be good to go.There are chemicals that eat aluminum (read:caustic) that are in superclean/ purple power..
