Well I'm not far off from ordering a shortblock, and since saving money is an issue, and I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty I was thinking about taking this project on. I mean how hard can it be ? Anyone been there, done that, that can give me an idea of what it's all about ? I'd have a good local shop assemble the engine, and I'd reinstall it.
I have pulled my 302 in my 68 before, and compeltely disassemebled, rebuilt, reassembled, and reinstalled it, I've pulled, and reinstalled a trans in that car too. In my 2000 I've also installed all my exhaust including longtubes, all my suspension stuff, the entire blower system, all my fuel system, and a new PI intake (previous coolant runer cracked). Think I can handle it ? If so what all is onvloved in pulling, and reinstalling a 4.6 ? What to look out for / tips ?
thanks-
