I have never done an engine drop but am willing to give you a hand if you need the help. I am about an hour drive from you. Just let me know.

LOU, I appreciate the offer- Where in mass are you? I'll see what happens the closer I get. Definitely could use a second set of hands though. sean

CARRERASR: You make it sound so easy, Feel like I'm already starting to hyperventilate. My biggest drawback is I'm in an outside storage/tent space its big 20x20 but no cement floor which is a problem. Damn that head stud!!!!!

I am located in Chelmsford. Just let me know if you need a hand when the time comes. I too have an 83 sc.

We can exchange info via pm.

I'm about 1/2 hour away and dropped engine last spring.
Sounds like you will have a lot of hands available
One good thing about living in an area with crappy weather, our maintenance season is much longer

ck the host here there is how to drop engine
it is easy and fun, try timing yourself the second
time around you can do it in 45 min, given you have a lift
good luck

try to get 2 sheets of 4x8 plywood, you heed to get the back of the car up about 34 inches at thr rear reflector and take off the rear bumper gives better clearance
run jack stands on inner torsion tube
