    Dave-

    Thanks for posting this. Living in Chapel Hill, I can relate to this exact situation! Folks here can be "interesting," in many of the same ways shown in that video.

    To the OP, best of luck with your build(s)! As already stated, there are some great folks here with tons of experience that are great at helping folks with their builds. I think you will be surprised at the selflessness routinely demonstrated here!

    I look forward to following along, and hope the build progresses in line with your expectations.

    Regards,

    Steve

    You need to start a build thread too.

    Our son is living in Evergreen, when I get my 33 done I'll probably drive up there.
    Maybe drop in to see your build too.
    Awesome, I would love to pick your brain about the 33 if you stop by too!

    Ya gotta admit the Rat Fink and the Mystery Machine on the garage wall is pretty cool

    I’m on Vspeeds thought process.... wouldn’t be surprised if Kalvin could actually pull something like that off... you never know.
    Anyway... welcome Kalvin! I’m subscribed, good luck and I’m looking forward to watching your build.

    Can you give your extended family an update?

    Here is the latest of 5 videos.

    Looks like the engine and trans are in. They decided to make it a broad stroke video series, instead of a boring Turn Wrenches series.

    Should be starting it soon.

    Wow, I'm new to all this but I can't imagine installing or pulling the engine without using an engine leveler on the hoist. Is this common? I pulled and reinstalled mine twice by myself last weekend while fitting the T56 but that was with the leveler.

    How About No Hoist But With An Engine Leveler?

    That works! If the engine needs to be pulled with the radiator on, will need to do something similar as the hydraulic cylinder on the hoist will hit. Hopefully it's in for the final time.
