But remember the taking apart is always easier, faster, cheaper, than the going back together --- plus the while-I'm-at-it curse is always lurking.......

I've got a little "wallet grease" left over if you need it. Cash ran out before the grease did .....

That's the best thing about C3's. Let's see you get an L98 or an LS1 out in an hour! :lol:

Re: It'll only take an hour........ (Corzvette69)
This isn't a vette story, but it is kinda related. One of my other cars is a '74 Vega wagon. It has a 3550/350 in it. The first time I installed the engine trans (in one piece) it took me all day. I was doing it by myself. Well, I had to do some "clearancing" in the trans tunnel, so it came out again....several times. By third or fourth time, i could take it out and put it back in all as one unit, in about an hour. Mind you, this is a rotisserie restored show car, and I didn't scratch anything!
Oh the fun.
