Wrenchin' party this weekend?

[YELLAHEEP]

I'm gonna be doing a marathon engine swap starting Friday with some other minor projects thru the weekend. If you're bored - I could use an extra pair of hands movin' motors around and what not.......

The operating room:

Picked up this sweet little '00 on the cheap today:

It has a nasty/angry piston or something banging away in it. But otherwise, it's a nice little Classic with the off-road package (armor/hooks) towing package (hitch, trans cooler) new 3-row radiator, and 16" alloys. It came from Michigan so it's got a couple little rust spots (top of the a-pilars and pass. rear window), nothing bad - but they sure know how to undercoat..... holy crap.

I had 'Castle's old '00 still sitting at my yard - nice engine in it....... :dunno: figure I'd get to swapping things around!

Oh and if you need any parts, I'll be parting out that blue '00 and I have a '91 here too that needs picked over! :thumbup:

 

[Hugothegrunt]

I saw that on CL, wished I had the funds to pick it for the wife. I was woundering how long it would take you to snag it.:thumbup:

Must be over your sickness....................I didn't see a Quarantined on the door there in the pic.

I can come over and help.............although you would not get anything done, cause of course I would talk your ear off

...........nah...........I actually have to work Saturday. Beginning of the year is the worst cause the first three months we work Saturdays to make sure books and files are good as we get surveyed by Community Center Boards for Quality of services..........big ole pain in the butt!

Good luck wrenching and no breaking anything!

Gathering my tools...when again?

 

[98POSXJ]

Lol I would but im in the same boat for this weekend... gotta put my motor in!

 

[YELLAHEEP]

Gathering my tools...when again?

LOL! I wouldn't expect anything less.......

I'm gonna be wrenchin' on these rigs Saturday and Sunday. Stop by whenever.

I'm actually gonna time the transplant process. From the time I start to remove the donor to the time it's in the recipient and running.

Anyone wanna start a pool?

 

[JJacobs]

Might have some time to spare- will check pm for directions. Any tools needed?

 

[YELLAHEEP]

Whoa...... Might I actually be graced with the great Jon Jacobs presence?

That'd be totally cool brutha! PM sent! :thumbup:

 

[JJacobs]

hardeeharr.. Been thinking of doing a swap in my 88, yours'll be good practice. You got air? I'll bring some stuff down and we'll burn through it quick-like.

This style fitting?

I would come up but I don't think I should be driving too far with a ripped up shackle box and 1 engine mout missing most of the rubber.
