Redneck engine hoist... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

MotorSeven · 10-29-2007, 09:04 PM

Just a couple of pic's of progress. Got the front end of the '68 swapped for the 81 disc set up. It went pretty smooth, but i definatly recommend 2 people. we then dropped in the just rebuilt 350 and fired it up with only headers on and no pipes......wow! Unfortunatly i head out for Manitoba 2morrow night, so it won't get finished until mid Nov. I still have to rebuild the rear brakes and find some wheels and tires. I am scared to add up all the receipts.....

People laugh but I can say I have used a Kubota front end loader like that on numerous occations and it works great!!!

Cool I need one of those redneck engine hoists to get a I-6 and a 4 speed tranny out so I can sell them. By the way the engine looks good.

The headers were free, thrown in with another truck deal(JerseyGirls '70 fleet), so i don't know what type that they are. We did the 2 gaskets on each side trick, so i hope that they don't leak. Also for free were the Edelbrock covers and air cleaner....off a friends Trike. My neighbors the "real" mech, so i spent alot of time looking over his shoulder and annoying him with questions, but i did learn alot about building an engine. Due to $ i stayed with a iron manifold & quadrajet......for now. Once i get it on the road and work the kinks out, i'll start on the body work. I'm thinking black with a tan interior, black ralleys with chrome center & rings.

a redneck engine hoist is a tree, a Kubota is mighty upscale if you ask me!!

I could use that Redneck engine hoist to work on my sewage problem. Engine looks good in there.

I really was expecting some ply wood and 2 x 4 contraption

The engine looks great though. Any idea what sort of headers?
