Re: Doing LS Swap - I have no idea what I'm doing!

Just a quick update: Pulled the old 350/700r4 out yesterday. First time to pull a motor, and did it by myself. Wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Had to grab a neighbor once, to help remove the hood and set it aside. Then, grabbed my other neighbor once I got the motor out to try and maneuver the hoist and motor around on my driveway - it slopes down away from the house. That was a beast.

Now to take some pictures of the 350/700r4 and get it listed for sale. Then, work on cleaning up the engine bay and wiring to get prepped for the replacement!

Progress foward, very good. When you get all set to reverse this process, make sure the feet/ stablizer wheels are extended. It may take some extra thought to Keep it Safe on uneven ground....and stable while you get it set.

It's too late now, but that 350/700R4 would have been much easier to sell and for more money if you had advertised it while it was still in the truck so it could be ran and driven. Just sayin.

I was thinking the same thing. At the very least I would have done a video.

I'm sure you're right. But, it's going to go for cheap, so I'm not too worried about it.

I had the stabilizers out - to me, that's just common sense.

I have enough flat area to use, that I should be ok. Thanks for the heads-up, though. I appreciate you looking out for me.
