    Pulling motor

    Trans will need to be supported while engine is out. wheeled floor jack works well. torque converter bolts, engine-to-trans bolts and exhaust bolts are usually the only troublesome ones. double check that all wiring is disconnected before yanking the engine, surprising how strong a forgotten...

    Show off your small block.

    I want to paint it, but it's a Leanna powdercoat masterpiece. Seems sacrilege to put paint on it. I have no excuse for the water pump but laziness..

Seems the more i learn, the less I know!

    Camshafts, idle quality, driveability and LSA-REAL WORLD EXP and OPINION

    I'm all jacked up! I'd have guessed a tighter lsa (all else semi-equal) would have helped top end at the expense of low end. That's why i let people smarter than me figure that stuff out!
