Ok, I've been considering re-building a 3.0sc engine for the inevitable day when my '82 goes south.
Some background: I can turn a wrench (brakes, seats, put a new radiator fan motor in my Trailbazer, ya know, general easy stuff) but I've never ever removed an engine from a car, much less rebuilt one. I have, however, removed and replaced the transmission on my 13hp riding mower but I highly doubt that is a qualifying bullet on the rebuild resume.
So, how realistic is it that I can actually drop, rebuild and replace the engine in my p-car?
Frankly, I'm not terrified of the thought. I'm just worried that I'll have a 'few pieces' left over when I'm done. I've read Wayne's rebuild book and it looks like a formidable project.
Wouldn't it cost about the same just to drop ship the car to Motormeister and have them do it?
LOL!!
Thanks for the feedback,
Eric
