Let's start here.
1. Front clip removal.
2. Engine removed, put on engine stand, crankshaft replaced.

Run? Not under it's own power......but, after thinking about it, the pax floor board kinda looks like doing it the Flintstone way may be a possibility, but switching gears and steering may also be huge problem (but yes it does roll). ALSO, changing the crank will also entail modifying the block to accept the newer main bearings.

Don't need a boring machine. Just need a real steady hand and (according to Jerry, "two brain cells to rub together and a dremel tool). I've got the tool but not the cells nor the steady hand. The notch has to be put into the block because that side of the bearing doesn't have the dowel. The cap side does but not the block side. Jerry, did I explain that right?
But, 2 Ton, you already knew that so why am I explaining it to you; oh, wait! Like I told Jerry, I haven't got ANY brain cells to rub together.

PS So, yes, I hope Jerry CAN make it because that means his medical concern will be doing better.
