jmink427, Nice and tidy.
Are you gonna make up some side covers? Make sure you get some new plug wires or you might get a good shock in a bad place.

Got the bullet pulled from the frame this evening... I got to figure out how I want to support the rear fender and mount a tail/brake light and a tag....
Did you make some custom hoist to get the engine out? It was pretty brutal on my back lol. I really don't know how to get the engine back in without doing damage to the bodywork later.
I used my engine hoist that I use on my cars... It's picked up a few Big Block Chevys so I knew it was up to the task... I did however have to clamp a piece of 3" channel to the boom to be able to reach over the lift table because the lower legs hit the lift..... I'm not using my back unless I have to....

I hear you! Man..I really need to work smarter. I'm going rent a hoist so I can have better control when I put the engine back in after paint and body.

Hey guys, I hear ya on going easy on my back! I'm gonna strip mine down then I'll just lay her down on one side unbolt the engine then pick the frame up and out.To hell with trying to hoist that heavy lump out of the frame.
