I need to borrow a hoist. I know there is a club one around.
I think someone said Bill McEwen. I have not called him.

Does anyone else have one that I can load onto my truck and give me a few minutes to swap the old and put in the new?

I sure could use a hand.
Feel free to call me.

*chuckles*
I think I have a spare truck or two around here someplace.

Thank you, Willie.
I thought I might be able to do it this weekend, but it is looking like that is not going to happen. Today was a day of setbacks.

Could I borrow it for next weekend?

 

anytime .. i dont have any projects going ..

 

Cool, thank you.
I'll get ahold of ya.

Today sucked.
Major setbacks.
I barely got anything done.

 

Let me know when this event is going to take place.

 

Willie, I found one a lot closer to the house. But I wanted to thank you for offering yours.

Anthony, it looks like tomorrow. I have to pull the old one (it is ready to come out), do some cleanup, changeover clutch and flywheel, then install the other engine. And I am bowling for Junior Achievement at 6, so I would like to get this done by 4. If not, I will have the hoist Sunday as well. But I am hoping on doing some wiring work on Sunday. If I get it wired enough, I will try firing it up - with open headers, of course. Gonna hafta get a sound byte. *grin*

So, if anyone would like to lend a hand, please let me know. And if so, I think I still need some chain (to get out the old one) and a carb plate (to put in the new one). I am checking on the cost of a carb plate from Harbor Freight.

 

I have a load leveler with chain if you need it.

 

I have some chain and a carb-plate. I will give you a call in the morning to see when would be a good time to help ya out.

 

Whoa... Anthony!

I think you are gonna pay me back for those free tires ya got from me!

I am gonna pick up the lift about 7:30. Feel free to call me early.
Fantastic!

 

Ok.. Its 7:00am, after a quick shower I will be in route.

 

Thank you Byron (and Lynn) and Anthony!

Engine in, pics and such to come later.

 

No problem brother... I mostly just watched and handed you stuff. I tell ya, that engine looks sweet............ I cant wait to hear the sound bite.

 

Yep that engine is a nice looking hunk of iron. I wish I could have stayed to help out. Can't wait to see it running again.
