I'm in agreement with everyone- have at it.
I was lucky in the sense that I live in SoCal and there is a great community
of roadster people that were more than happy to help me when I pulled my
motor/trans. I also go along with everyone in get as many buds to help as you
can, take all precautions, take your time and have fun.
Everything of value I have ever learned I learned because the first time I
tried it I failed.
Have fun,
Andrew Murphy
