Garage
C'mon man, how long is going to take to pull the engine, get it on a stand and tear it down to fix it right?
The guys on Road Kill Garage would have this back up and running in a weekend.

Kind of reminds me of when I dropped a nut down the open distributor hole on my brother's newly rebuilt 283 that we had just put in his Cameo pickup. He'd spent a lot of time getting the pan sealed up just right on the stand and now we had to pull it off in the truck. Ugh!

From then on we put rags in the open holes that mattered.

Pales in comparison to the time his FI unit spider leaked and he hydraulic-ed two of the cylinders.

That one included bent rods.
