Clearification of my objectives:

1. Replace non-stock V8 (350) with original inline 6.
2. Retain stock 3 speed transmission

Tools:

Floor jack, jack stands, air, hand tools and engine stand. Plan to rent engine lift.

Plan of attack:

Since I need to install a complete new wiring harness, plus fenders, engine compartment, grill, etc. need to be painted, would it be just as simple to remove them and radiator before pulling engine?

I have already agreed with another stovebolter to swap my V8 for his inline 6. The swap will keep the CEO's of the homesteads happy. smile
