These from the bottom engine swaps GM loves to do.I cringe when I have to do these and it’s a waste of time to do it this way.The steering coupler and the PITA so called quick release water fittings are the worst part.Anything with the Blue oval on it as well aka Ford,they love doing everything the hard way.They will not do anything simple at all.
WORSE EVER HANDS DOWN. 1985 ish Turbo coupe dash. I think the book quoted 22 hours either one way. It was a complete rebuild and reloom of the dash and engine. Hated it more than anything. It was an insurance deal and I had to replace everything new and the body shop had to paint some of the panels. Someone stole the radio out of the thing. Destroying the dash. Then I was honored a few days later doing a probe dash that was not quite as bad, but sucked pretty bad. I went from a Ford dealer and moved to a Dodge dealer. I felt like I was cheating at the Dodge dealer it was all so easy.
Spark Plug Replacement turning into a engine overal
One day I was going to replace the older spark plugs and chage thw wires… no really big deal… untill when trying to remove one of them… and it was a little bit stiff coming off…. when all the sudden it got loose… I had the nut of the spark plug in my socket and the other half in the head… so the rest of it I had to take the whole head off and have it machined out to fix it…. lots of fun
