Ive done some semi hard jobs on cars. Swapped my C3 Vette from auto to stick. Built and swapped several motors and pretty much built my V8 S10 from bare bones and painted it. I think the hardest Ive worked was on a 99 S10 I flipped last winter. Simple 4.3 swap. Wrong. Fuel lines near impossible to separate. Motor was locked up so I couldnt rotate it to take the torque converter bolts out. The motor dowel pins were frozen to the trans so I pulled the motor and trans together. Every thing that could go wrong went wrong. Almost every rusty exhaust bolt rounded off so I ended up cutting them. My garage has a low ceiling so it was a pain pulling the motor/trans over the core support. Tailshaft plug came out 1/2 way out. Dumped 10 quarts of ATF on the floor. After all that I ended up having to put in a fuel pump. fix the AC and the cruise control. When I sold the truck I think I ended up making about $10/hour instead of the $30 I should have.
