  • I have decided

    That a 230lb 460 block is just about the heaviest thing I ever need to lift by myself. Yowza. :D

    I'll back you on that.

    Blocks are the heavy kind of weight too. :D
    That which you manifest is before you.

      is your cherry picker busted?

      do you not have a beam and chain fall in your new garage yet?

      Don't put yourself in the hospital man!
      There's always something new to learn.

        I still have the old garage because our house has not sold yet unfortunately.

        Engine hoist is in the shop, but it's a pain in da booty to drag it down the shop steps, thru the backyard and back again.

        Luckily my Durango is not lifted!

              Be careful. I've been told that that's how Frankie Valley is able to hit those high notes.

                  So the good news is you aren't using an aftermarket iron block which is plus 90# over the stocker.

                    Nope. It's all D9TE for me!

                    Just need to find a break to run down to the machine shop and drop it and my crank off!

                          Topic: I have decided
                          ...that heroically lifting heavy objects because it was the thing to do at the time is a main reason my back has been trashed since my late twenties. It would feel good for a few months, then I'd go and do it again. There was a childhood injury but that isn't the whole thing.

                          Ya don't know what you have 'til it's gone... :P
