re: #31 RealityBasedSteve

yep… first engine I ever rebuilt was the slant 6 in my Dads Dodge Dart. We did it at the base hobby shop (Lots of tools you could borrow). Didn’t have any parts left over, it started, and I think we got another 100.000 miles out of it before he finally got rid of it. (Think the body was rusting out by then).

On my Impala, I’m not even sure where to begin to get TO the engine, and I don’t have the time or place to do it any more. :(

Now it takes longer to move all the cables, hoses and unknown boxes than it does to remove the head.
