<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>LOL, which is why I always prefer the "no pressure as to when I have to get it done" engine swap. My R32 GTS-t with the R33 RB25DET swap is running like a top from the day it first fired. Heh heh heh. Still my daily driver after, what, going on 5 or 6 years now. Yep, no pressure deadline swaps tend to turn out better.... My Son's KA pickup swap is running excellent too. That took a month. I will let you know when I finish my Classic Bronco swap (1997 Explorer 5.0 with all the electronic goodies) but that one looks like it is going to last 3 years... :-O<BR>

I have done the rod bearing swap with the engine still in the car. I suppose it was worth the headache of pulling the engine. I let is sit a week and drip once the pan was off. But, yes, car up on Jack stands, tall ones up front, short in back, a two step lift for the front, the second with a big peice of timber left over from the "horse stables" . Drop the engine/trans out the bottom still on the cross member with a hoist (I like a cable hoist for slow controlled safety). Drag it out the front when it is on the floor.<BR>

Cheers all!<BR>
