Not my fault this week…

 

[Mopar Tim]

Got down to 33 here last night. A record I think.....

 

[zkx14]

I dont care what you do with it unless you print it out and run to a private place!

It's Thirtyfour Thursday!

Good morning

The cherry picker legs may be in the way while supporting the engine when you remove the k-frame...

I had to do some do-si-do and bumpin and prying to get my assembly out past the hoist legs and thats lifting at the front. His hoist will be way farther in to grab the engine. So yeh, definitely need to figure that out. Is it just the K, or other stuff still on it? K alone is not that heavy. I put mine back in fully assembled as well. But if you just put it together piece by piece, might not be too big of a problem but would prob need 2 people getting the K back in place.

I’m thinking it may be easier and safer to just take the engine and trans out with the K

It’s only 27 here currently

 

[zkx14]

Just started flurries here.

Chance for a little till noon. The real crap is supposed to start after 8 and definitely by the time I get out of work.
Depending who you believe, somewhere between a 'glaze' and .4inch of ice by morning.

The frost on the neighbor's roof isn't so cute and sparkly this morning, it flat out looks like snow

 

[halifaxhops]

Again they are lost. Its a PA thing!

I don't know about easier. It's a lot more stuff to take apart and putback together when you don't need the engine out.

I'm doing the suspension restoration along with the brake conversion so I need to pull the struts to replace those bushings anyhow and I have a new steering box. Looking at everything my thought is to remove or loosen those points of attachment to the rest of the car. Struts, Pitman Arm, Steering box and motor mounts. I can get the new mounts and steering box placed on the replacement K-frame ahead of time and could probably bring the floor jack under the K from the other side to lift it in place to reattach before reinstalling the struts and pitman.... It'll probably be very busy underneath there as I figure out the needed real estate for all that to happen

I'll have my escalation plans in place as needed. Going to go from the simple to the complex... partially because I'm not smart enough on this to get too complex

Yeh, if you bring hoist in from one side you can get jack to center of K. Between the legs You don't need clearance above, since you only need enough lift to get tension on it.

I was thinkin that myself. No rule says the K has to come out the front.

If his garage space is wide enough to use hoist from side…. I would do hoist on passenger side if the steering is going on K. Getting out probably OK. Drop and drag. But putting back you have stuff all painted and pretty. Need a low profile way to slide in place and get in position on jack.

You mean lift body off k-member, right? Thats my understanding how its done.
