There's just something satisfying about removing an engine from a collosal pile of dung .... with a sawzall & hedge clippers! Fuel lines got the sawzall, wiring harness got the hedge clippers. toothy

Now I've got a spare motor for the '89. 8-)

Nice work! I propose that you send the rest to the crusher and buy beer with the proceeds.

Why did you bother to leave the fender on? You could have saved a lot of work by just the front off as a clip :cry:
