That'd definately be appreaciated. I still don't know the exact date that we are going to do the swap. We're arranging access to a cherry picker, an engine stand, some better jacks, etc. "The sooner the better" is what we both keep saying. Unfortunately, you can't circle that on a calendar.
Speaking of jacks, can anyone tell me how realistic it is to drop the engine from a CSVT without a full lift? Like, in a home garage? Is it possible (or practical) to pull it with a cherry picker rather than dropping the subframe, or whatever?
I am the same as Hugo, haven't done it but willing to help out, also Milford is only about 20 minutes from me and I come through there on the parkway every day so it is easy for me to be in the area
um, people have pulled engines before at home with out lifts, you can get the engine out the top
what I also saw done in pics with a tempo was the guy got the subframe on the floor and lifted the front of the car up off the subframe
