Have already suggested he bring it to SCR this year. It would be right at home there.

I saw the announcement for SCR on Facebook. I am giving that some thought.

Super cool !!!


That leveler is very interesting. I haven't seen one like that before yours. Have you tried using it for a complete engine/trans install ? I use the traditional long one with a chain on both ends to get enough angle. I had to use Don Yenko's method of raising the back of my '62 Impala to get the 409/TH350 in it and that works too.

Yes I have. It works pretty good. Most of the time, I am installing the trans separately though.

That looks great, Tim. I remember that being a Tonawanda stamped block, too.
