Kirk,
At last fall's Elkhart Lake Vintage Festival, we had the motor out, clutch
replaced, everything back in, and running... 1 hour, 36 minutes. (If I
didn't have "help", it might have gone faster... ;) )

Subject: Re: Engine pull - How Long Is Typical Time Frame For Doing This?
Ok ok - I am going to pull my 1275 out of "Vomit Yellow" (Bugeye) to do a
gear box swap. How long does this usually take?
I hear of work parties taking the good part of the day and then I hear about
it being done in under two hours or less?
Someone please help ease my fear!
I pulled and replaced a small block Chevy years ago - seemed like it was not
a huge deal - but it was 20 years ago so I don't really recall the entire
process that well.
Thanks!
Kirk
