As long as you sign a release!!

We should have a pretty good turnout for this.

Ha! The funny thing is I posted a comment about an "engine drop class" on the Jimmy Deering thread and had a PM for more info. That's where I could charge serious money.

J/K of course, I'm happy to have the company, and if anyone learns something, all the better. I was on the fence about whether to drop the trans too-I think it is easier doing engine only-but I'll probably do the textbook drop as that is what people who've not seen or done this should learn.

I've got a brand new trans lift if needed. Unless you're going full drop.

I've got an ATV jack that works pretty well. The good news is I'm really lifting the car off the motor as opposed to dropping the engine, so I don't need much height travel. Thanks, though.

Hey Ed, I should be finished with mine. I think I'll make it down. I need the break-in mileage. Just PM the address. We'll GPS it.

Actually Autos International did my interior down there.

Hey wait!

I don't even know how to spell WebbKast, much less how to do one!!! I think ice should get on a plane and head down here for a winter break-it's his idea.

Of course! I won't be able to smoke cigars without them.

I'm also going to go the 5 Liter "Keg" route with a couple of German beers on hand, pretzels too. Italian for lunch-pizza!

If I was really a good host, I'd have Sauerbraten too, or Brats on the barby, but I think I'll be focused on pulling the engine and keeping everyone entertained. I save my culinary expertise for 24 hour race parties-I've had some Dusies in the past.
