Not bad

 

Damn , u tearing some shit up today.

 

Why is it my welds always look better when I know I’m going to grind them off

 

Getting a little hot out there. Sprayed 3 gallons of Round up and broke a sweat.

 

Looking at pulling an LS1 and a T56 transmission out of a 2000 Camaro.

 

To put in what

 

Dunno yet. Still looking for rollers. I got my wife into cars and we both want to learn to drift and work on engines/transmissions. I figure if I get the powerplant now, I can comb through it with her and maybe getting it running on the stand as a project for the both of us. Then whenever we get a car to put it in, we can go through that process. Hard part is finding a cheap shell.

 

I had a friend who put an LS2 into a 1990 something S10, it would fly and he did a great job. He would do stuff and sell it to do other stuff, after that was an Empi buggy. His most recent project was putting an LS7 into a 1967 Firebird, sadly he got killed in a 4 wheeler accident a couple months ago and didn't get the car completely finished.

 

That sucks. Prayers and thoughts going out to you and family

 

I am sure every yard is different.

Because of the amount of out of work lawyers most places only allow little things to be removed.

To the point no Jacks are allowed in the Yard!

Any engines or Transmissions that were good get pulled before it goes out in the general area of the yard. Around here.

The go to is just cut the harnesses to get the engine out as fast as possible .

The clueless leave off things that allow water and rodents inside.

Unless your looking for a core to rebuild why a none running engine??

 

Law of the Multi Verse it is always that way.

 

To bad your so far away I have a few Celica bodies that would be great!

 

My next challenge, make two of these out of aluminum.

 

Cnc?

 

Yes sir

 

Ah.. So you are that guy...

I slow down in the passing zones to encourage them to go around, the Dodge truck guys always go roaring by.

Often though for reasons I don't understand the non-Dodge guys tend not to want to pass, they just stay back there.

 

Some places will put a sold tag on the engine (if you paid in advance) but it would still be an honor system in the yard.
If you plan ahead you should be able to get it out in a day, especially with a helper / cordless tools.

 

Yup. If you want it, you gotta earn it

It was more fun in the GTI, but that thing was gonna get me in serious trouble
