Well, had some extra time and energy today so went out to go see about pulling the old block out and getting things ready for the new engine (when I pick it up).
Got out there and remembered that to get half the bolts out from between the transmission and the engine would require me being on my back under the truck in the snow.
Sat there with the bonnet up and a cig hanging out of my mouth pondering life like a redneck for about ten minutes. Started to get chilly so said "**** it" and went back inside.
So not much has been done to it yet. Mind you, with it being 21 to 27 degrees C BELOW zero lately, I don't think you can really blame me. Sorry, I don't have too many pairs of bear skin coveralls hanging around to keep my skinny arse warm!!
Going tomorrow (today for you folks) to go look at the engine I'm going to be buying after the tax return comes in. $2300.00 coming back to me!! \o/ Yay!! That'll get me the engine and all related parts required plus the body repair panels. Also thinking about trying to talk the wife into letting me get a wire feed welder so I can do the work myself. Just got to think of all the projects I could use it on that SHE would benefit from to help convince her!!
Will update again when I get more info. And yes, I'll be taking the camera tomorrow so you folks can get an idea of what a REAL V-8 looks like!!
