Engine Pull
Machine shop is almost done with my 400 block so it was time to pull that tired 'ol 350..
From this...
Exercise mats provide great fender protection!!!
To this...
My first pull...and it went very smooth. (Thanks for the help Sray454) Car is way up on stands so the sidepipes came off as one assembly.
Can't wait for the 406 to be done. Should more than double the HP I've been running.
