The Great Pumpkin - '71 Duster

I don't know but that was my original plan! I built a dolly that enabled me to take the engine and trans out as a unit so for all intents and purposes it should work to put it back in the same way (see post #303). The column, steering linkage and T bars would have to come out. That stuff is pretty easy to put back in so maybe?

I’ve done the installation of the engine in the K frame and lowered the car on top of it before by myself on the floor of the driveway. I did have to take the intake off since I couldn’t lift the car as high as it needed to be, which is of no concern to you if I remember your in house equipment.

I did it with floor stands and a hyd jack. Side to side until it was in. Was it a PIA? Just a little bit. But I did do it myself in a few hours, start to finish. Finish means clean hands and eating. Started with coffee in hand.

The steering and front end isn’t hard, just time consuming. I didn’t have to do steering linkages in my case. The 1-3/4 Hooker Super Comps are not in the way on the B body.
