sounds like fun. but try pulling out a 73 VW supper bettel motor, it took me atleast 3 hours to take out 4 bolts. now thats sum hard fucking work, it felt like i was working on a jap car, there was no room for my hand to fit in there and when i finaly did find out how to tak out the las t bolt,, i forgot to disconect the gas line, so about halh a tank of gas is sitting on my garge floor. and now as soon as i rebuild it, i have to figure out how to put the damn thing back in.maybe i will just pull out the trans axel and then hook it up to that while on the floor, then put it all back in.
