The more the merrier ! All engine swaps here include Budweiser and usually something burning on the grill . But lifting over 700 lbs above your head on a "cherry picker" over the core support by yourself is just NOT SAFE .We were all young and overly ambitious at one time and we only became old men by doing it with the least risk as possible . Heck you want to be adventurous go use a tree limb and a 1,000 lb come along .

Sometimes you have to remember there are young men in here who have never pulled an engine let alone work a "cherry picker" by themselves .Think safety not bravado and live longer . It only takes one small mistake to have it land in your lap .we did a lot of things "back in the day " that wouldn't even be considered today .
