Thanks. I can't wait to get down to Florida. I am glad there was no play in the bearing too. Once I get back I can't wait to get this thing in the car. It has been laid up now since November 07. I'll be surprised if everything still works. Top, lights etc....

2 photos of the motor in the car. Not running yet but I am sure as hell happy that I am at this point. I felt like I would never see the motor in the car.

jaay -
i'm getting ready to do my 3.4L swap this summer. i'm in the process of sourcing shop equipment (hoist, engine stand, motorcycle jack, etc) and have a couple of questions:
1) how high off the ground did you have to get the oil pan in order for the motor to clear everything (height-wise) on the way out?
2) what did you use to jack the engine into / out of the car & how high did it have to extend?
the reason i ask is that i'm considering a specific motorcycle jack that goes from 4.5" fully collapsed to 16" fully extended. i'm not sure if this gives me enough height to reach the bottom of the motor once the car is up in the air.

Too bad you're not close to Dallas, TX, as I have all of the shop equipment you'll need and would be glad to lend it to you. Harbor Freight has a very nice motorcycle/atv Jack that works perfect for lowering the engine out. There is a thread on Renntech.org where a guy just r&r'd his motor using this Jack. I can send you a link later to his web site where he did an excellent write up with pictures.

that would be great. i actually already picked up a hoist & engine stand from harbor freight and was considering the motorcycle jack, but wasn't sure whether it would reach w/ the car up. definitely post the website w/ the pics if you get a chance.
