3am and can't sleep
Well I can't sleep and been thinking about this motor swap.
I like to do things myself and like the part about building something with my own hands. So I think I've decided to do this swap myself. I found a engine hoist for $125.00. This has been my biggest problem. I had no way to remove/install the engines. So if I buy the hoist I can work on it anytime I want here at the house and take my time cleaning & painting up the new LSx motor while I have it out. I can store the hood and other parts in my enclosed trailer out back. I think I can get the motors out and in with the grille left in place. I hope! I may just as well take the whole front out of it though would make it much easier to work on it I guess. I will be selling the 305HO TPI/700R4 once it's out. This will be a complete motor/trans combo that has Street & performance wiring and computer setup.
