What is your fastest time to pull an engine, install another and drive it away?
The old engine…
If I knew what color that I wanted to paint this car, I would have prepped and sprayed the engine bay. It annoys me to see a black engine bay in a car that isn’t black.
The irony here is that I have a car that I painted black (cheap paint) and the engine bay was left the original color Of the car!
The 1990 360:
Rich and I got the Doug’s headers in a lot quicker than expected. The car was on jackstands so high, it did not inspire confidence but I was the man underneath since it is my car. With a floor jack under the oil pan, the engine was lifted and shifted to the right and the header slipped right in. 20 minutes, maybe? The right side was 5 minutes at the most. The center link was unbolted for a clear path.
