valve spring compressor
well, I aint got much grill left to speak of anyway, ha! Consequences from when I lived a harder lifestyle, you know. I got the old engine out yesterday, and the new one in, and I am NEVER pulling a small block without pulling the tranny with it EVER again! It was easy to get the old one out, but WOW it was hard to get the new one in, I swapped the headers while i was at it and that alone took and hour, but getting the engine to seat correctly in the spools and line up correctly with the tranny was very hard... I had to move the jack around with the tranny on it, raise and lower it while I had the cherry picker lifting the back of the engine here and there and what I thought would be fast and easy truly kicked my butt! She in there now, though and today I'll hook up the small remainders and break it in.... Victory is mine!
