Back to the old engine and trans, I just picked up a new cherry picker last week and am stoked about that so what better then to use It right off the bat. Got to work pulling the old engine which as a little struggle without a hoist equalizer bar, but I got it. Will be buying a bar for the install for sure.

Shown below are a couple photos of when I was pulling the engine apart.

I was then stuck with a stuck engine and no way to pull the tranny off without turning the crank. I ended up pulling the entire engine apart and dropping the crank from the bock which was not easy task in and of itself. Finally after about 6 hours of struggling with that I got the trans pulled off of the crank and the flywheel was loose. that's kinda where I'm at now. I did find that I needed a torus wheel gasket so I ordered one of those yesterday from the Gasket Company online so I can mate the trans and good engine.

I also cleaned up under the hood and got all the black parts painted so I looks nice up under the hood again.

I have more photos, I'll try and get a few more up as I go.
