Engine swap day
I'll have some time on my hands over the next couple of weeks and should be able to finish getting my 351w built. I've never swapped an engine before. I can probably figure it out solo, but would appreciate as many sets of knowledgeable hands as feel like hanging out. Best day for me would be April 4/1 so that I can spend 4/2 working to get the EFI done. Could also do the swap 4/2 if that's better. Anyone who wants to come over, learn, drink my beer and eat pizza is also welcome, even if you're purely decorative.
Where: Justin's House
When: Tentatively Saturday, 4/1/17
Why: Because I've got a blueberry wheat, a chocolate stout and a bourbon aged cider on tap, and I challenge you to drink all 10 gallons so that I get to make more.
How: In anything that gets you here, but ideally in something big and loud that will annoy the neighbor I don't like. The rest are awesome and won't care.

Re: Engine swap day
Do you need an engine hoist? I have a nice fold-up one if you need it. I'll try and make either 4/1 or 4/2 if I can as I just pulled my 302 and can contribute some extremely limited knowledge.

Re: Engine swap day
A huge thank you to digger, tool man, eck, and bronco raider. Would not have gotten this done without some very competent help.
