    oh ok i see... cool thanks!

    well denny i went ahead and tried your method.... looked like it was damn sure gonna work... til i put it into action.... the sides of the engine bay are too narrow to slide the 351 through its too wide.... by further observation it looks like i'm going to have to life the engine up thru the top of the passenger compartment which is no problem space wise.... i can access the whole engine and half of my toploader from there.... its just a matter of lifting that heavy thing out

    Do you own a magic blue finger??
    If you do this will help, but I am not sure what it will look like when you are done.
