Motor Swap update Pics and tahoe update
Saturday, February 23, 2008 4:45 PM
So this morning at 10 my buddy darryl and i headed to exeter to my dads shop to start pulling motors from my sunfire and my parts cavalier. we called it a day at 5 but it was very productive. in 7 hours we pulled the complete motor/tranny wiring harness AC systems, cooling systems and swapped my sunfires Master Cylinders so i do not have ABS anymore. anyways here are some pics

Murt in this pic you can see the hoist i was tellingyou about it lifts 4 feet. you can see the shop is full of my Tahoe and my sunfire

Does the hoist just sit on the floor? Meaning can you move it around if you wanted?

Well at my friends shop (where I work on my cars) he wasn't going to get one because he needs the space once a year to put his Combine in there. So this one should do the trick

Just have to see if it can lift a 4x4 V10 Expedition.....lol....
