So I posted here recently that my engine has a rear main leak and have had some handy hints .. so I have a few options..
Leave it and try to get over the pits with a clean just before it goes over..
Or
I'm doing a manual conversion on the Berlina anyways and have 99% of what I need now..
I also have a spare engine (in very good condition). Do I bolt the gear box up and use the spare engine ?? the original will be getting stroked in the coming 12 months so it was coming out anyways ..
I have pulled many engines out and gearboxes but was also thinking would it be easier dropping the whole lot out by unbolting the Kframe (and the other bits) and lifting the Car?? I have a hoist.. I have always done it the hard way on stands etc and thins will be the first time with the option of a hoist??
Or
Do I try and get it over the pits and build the stroker engine wait and be patient to put the manual in at the same time? I'm planning within the next year all going well????
These are the hard choices in life lol
