Oh I know, Im a construction inspector by trade so Im out in it at all hours of the day but in the morning as long as you dont have direct sunlight on you its not too bad. If you get all your ducks in a row it shouldnt take you two but 5-6 hours to swap it out especially if the vehicle has been allowed to cool over night. Kasey is pretty handy with a wrench I bet he can bust it out pretty quick.

Yall cart it up here to Austin in another month or so and Ill show you how its done. Now whether thats showing you how to swap a motor or kill a couple cases of Shiner is another story

Ive already got an 04 ecsb to put an entire drivetrain back in, an 08 thats getting a h/c swap, complete fuel system and gauges, an 02 that needs a new rear main seal and an 01 that needs a new front seal. My plate is full for a while but what better way to break in a new garage right?
