Now for the final act of madness with the 360.
Finished the dyno runs Friday and the owner had to have the truck Saturday. So my son was forced to take his Saturday, come to the shop and do the R&R.
Have a sign on the shop entrance.
Shop labor rate $60/hr
You watch $90/hr
You help $120/hr
The owner thought he was going to help and the R&R would be FREE!
I said, "If you are that good of a helper that my son and the shop are worth nothing, I'm firing him, locking the shop doors and you can take your truck and engine and install everything in your front yard." Would have loved to watch him figure out where to weld the 360 external balance weights on his 318 torque converter.
He drove off stone faced angry driving his 360 powered 4x4 because I made him pay for the removal of the old 318 and the installation of the 360.
Never even got a 'thank you' after buying his lunch.
