Poll...Engine R&R write up
I'm getting ready to do an engine swap on my GMC, and was thinking of doing a write up on it for the FAQ pages.
Now i know to many of us, it seems trivial and even stupid, but I wonder how many ppl would actually benifit from it? I figure I have the camera, the time, and the some what organized space (at work) to do this, and it may actually help some one. |

Sounds like a good idea
Go for it longhorn I am sure that there are a lot of owners and soon to be owners that will benefit from this. It has been a while since I have rebuilt a motor myself. Who knows I might even benefit myself.

I'd be interested in this. I'm going to be putting the 250 back in my truck, but it'll be nice to see what goes on in these engine bays and what to do with a chevy motor. I konw oldsmobiles pretty much inside and out and could swap an olds into almost anything, but when it comes to chevies, that's a foreign territory...
