Ha right. Well where theres food I'm always ready to lend a helping hand.

No, I don't. :shifty:

Willing to help, but I'm almost always busy, so would need a decent heads up.

even with a lift you may run into probalems with bolts breakeing and trouble getting the many things thats are needed to take off (intake manifold, starter,exaust...etc) this is why ultimatley i took mine to ferman.

you dont really need special tools, just some long enough extensions....and the rest are basic tools that just about everyone would have :cheers:

[collin41899]

yea jeff ur right..with a bunch of guys working on it it shouldnt be too bad

[LDadrenaline]

only thing is, only so many people can fit under the car at a time

[sanantonioch]

So does it sounds like a plan. Maybe have like a weekend project get together.

WTF are you taking the intake manifold and starter off for? Intake manifold can stay right where it is, the starter can stay you just gotta remove 2 bolts from it that connect to the tranny.

I would do an aftermarket kit IMHO. After all the **** that Dave went thru.....
