                It’s funny how I’ve changed my way of thinking , I’ll be out running around and I’ll think I’ll pop into Burger King and grab a burger but then I’ll say to myself no go home and make a sandwich. That way I save a few bucks for parts and tools …

                • time to pull the trans
                  but first, picture for posterity (and so I can remember where all the brackets go)




                  pulled the starter, this is the spendy version ....

                  just forgot one bolt and one cable... the cable was frayed so I don't feel bad hacking it

                  I win


                  tomorrow, motor (I hope)


                  this will make a good 'for sale' picture .... or maybe

                  I'll play the theme song to Raiders of the Lost Ark where Harrison Ford is arguing the ark needs to be in a museum while it's put into a box then rolled back in a faceless warehouse...

                      That's What I was thinking ?!!
                      And another Tranny (Are we allowed to Call It That Now )
                      Cross Mount ?

                      A Spicer Divorced 4WD case might take up less space,
                      Just thinking, or make a "Doubler".....

                          • time for the missed-wire-stress test, aka the 'how to do an Exxon Valdez for fun and profit'

                            yep, have a perfectly good forklift behind me and I use this... and bend it more... no promises about whether or not I'll risk the new motor with the cherry picker

                            look, greasy hole

                            more greasy holes

                            I am going to scrap this, however, all the brackets and such will make life simpler on the new motor... so those come off. Also, I think it has a relatively new injection pump... score

                            • so finally got the right seal for the oil filter adapter

                              then decided not to use it.

                              which is good since this was finger tight in the assembly - also, if you don't want to use the angle adapter, simply unthread the oil filter adapter and screw it into the block

                              so there will be lots of boring, remove, clean reinstall on the new motor... an overview
                              fun fact, tamper proof bolts on the timing tab... why, GM, why?

                              in other news, the springs I ordered 3 months ago arrived

                              Ford F350 diesel van. they're dual rate - and cheap - like $70/pr cheap....

                              • cleaning, round 2

                                I hate working on greasy cars... this one I've pressure washed once when I first got it... this is second with the motor out

                                it will get yet another before I undercoat/paint it
