He Also has all the trim for the car....What do you guys think????? He left me his number what would be a good price to offer him?

Okay guys. we need some help pulling the engine and trans out of a car at Jeffs house. we are shooting for this Saturday, 2-23-08. who can go? I can drive my truck up to pick it up but would rather have someone with better gas milage grab it. it will cost me 60 bucks or to drive my gas hog up there. I can toss in 10 bucks to help out on the gas if someone else goes. or if you guys want to have the club pay the gas bill, we would have to have a vote to make it so. one thing is for sure. we are sitting idle without the engine and rearend. we need to get it.

What about cheeseburgers for the workers. It'll probably be cold and snowy and cold and grey and cold and .........................Better bring your woolies and some hot chocolate. Has Jeff set a time yet? :pirat:

i was watching the weather and Saturday is suppose to be 35 and then start warming up. if you guys want to wait til next Saturday we can do that. it's up to you guys. what do you want to do?

Is Jeff going to make a run to see his honey on Sunday? He usually goes down to her house on Saturday evening and stays 'till Sunday evening. Better check b4 you make too many plans.

this Saturday is canceled until I can get with Jeff and make sure it will happen. maybe we will try for Saturday after. the weather may be better for it.

If there is another change pm me

I'll be out of town from the 7th thru the 9th celebrating my sobriety with a three day bender in Chicago with my sweety, my brother and his sweety.. Besides we gotta make some progress soon, I just bought a frame and itching to build me a T.......Ryan

Jeff is having computer problems but from the way I take it so far we are on for pulling the engine this Saturday. If anyone wants to help you are more than welcome. I will add more as I get info from Jeff.

I tossed some stuff away, put my scooter in the side yard and shoved my 34 over some so the gasser will be coming back to Newport for the engine swap. I may need a hand pushing it up into the garage though.

throwing more stuff away when im not there to take it........




when is the gasser coming back down and when is the motor being pulled?

im free this saturday to do which ever.... if neither then im headed to work on my car...

it matters what Jeff says tonight. I'm either going to get the engine or tow the gasser one or the other. I have to see what Jeff is wanting to do before I can figure out the weekend

We can pull the motor saturday or sunday but I dont have a computer,I am using my moms at this time. Jeff

Do you want to drag it to your place to put the motor in or do you want to do it here.. I still have all my metal working tools here.. Its up to you..Just let me know I am planning on working this weekend, well atleast Saturday and then I will be out all next weekend from Fri-Sun..Keep me posted.. If we get a Dennis's cherry picker we can make good time dropping the motor in and welded up.. If the motor gets pulled Sat then we could make sparks Sunday...

Corey and I are avalible if ya need us..

I can be there Saturday when I get out of class.

[quote="6-71Kid"]I can be there Saturday when I get out of class. Wow Cole, it's been awhile since we've seen you. I think that maybe a good idea. We may have forgotten what you look like. lol

Hey................If we start to pull a motor in the AM, should we meet for breakfast first to let the outside temoerature come up or would that be too distracting?

I'm free to wrench on the Gasser in the afternoon if the motor gets pulled in the AM..I think I'm working Sunday but if we get the motor I may have to take of to get this thing in there..Once things fall into place and let me know when and where...Lets make some sparks,

thanks guys for all the ones that said we could use their truck to haul the engine back here, Chad I tried to call you but I lost your number. PM me you cell if you get a chance. the more I thought about the weight of the engine, trans, the rearend, radiator, driveshat and stuff I figured it may be easier to haul it in my heavy rigg. I'm leaving here to go up there at 11 am Saturday morning. it will take me a bit to get to Dayton with 411 gears 60 mph or less will be the top end. anyone that wants to go is more than welcome to come with me. I have a front and back seat in the truck. I still haven't talked to Jeff yet but am hoping to get a hold of him tonight.

I just talked to Jeff through the PM. we are on to pull the engine and trans out of the wagon at Jeff tomorrow at noon. so if anyone want to go I will be leaving here at 11 sharp.

My engine crane is available and so am I Reason i haven't got back with everyone is i thought i was going to Green Bay Wisc. to pick a truck up for my son but thats on hold for now!! thank god give me a ring tomorrow please

thanks everyone that went to Jeffs house to pull the engine out of the wagon. there was too many to really work on the car but it was nice to have a few of us together. thanks again to Jeff for the drivetrain. we came back with a running 460, C6 trans, driveshaft, radiator, 9" rearend and Doug tossed in a 390 geared center section for the 9".


Don't these guys look like a bunch of hoods. lol.

I had a good time. it wasn't too fun when I was goofing off and was trying to line lock the 454 sitting at a stop sign. all those heavy Ford part caused the daully to holeshot and toss the 460 through the tailgate. lol .Chad says the tailgate is down. I hit my brakes to slide the engine up and went on around the corner. I stopped to fix the tailgate. I screwed with it for a little bit then I shove it up and got in the rigg and started to pull away when the blue lights came on. he walked up and ask what was going on? I told him the tailgate flew open and I stop to close it. do ya think he would let up go? NO we have Ky plates. so we are sitting in the road while he's running my tags. walks up and wants my ID, runs it through. it took a long time. he came back and said to have a nice day. I thought to myself I will when I get back to Ky so I can close my tailgate if it comes open without getting screwed with. oh well thats what I get for screwing off I guess. on the bright side we had a few guys with Fords there and you all know they have to carry tools so I was able to fix my tailgate.
