yeah, i can assist. My leveler is currently on loan to someone else but i'll attempt to get it back.

too bad your in baltimore and i'm working, i would have driven down if i could crash there. lol

i would come down and hand you toold...but it looks like im going to be out of town sunday!

you can Eyeball the clutch if the engine is off the car, the tool just makes it easy to center when the engine is in the car.. So since I can't make it but I gave some advice, ship me some beer..

We are moving the time to noon on saturday, if any one wants to come. PM me and I'll give you directions to my house.

Mark,

I have a tilt device for my engine hoist that I can bring. I'll try to get the clutch alignment tool tonight from my friend that owns it. It is a nice metal one that worked on previous projects.



later

sounds good. Do you remember how to get to my house? If not pm me and I'll give you some directions.



mark

dam my luck. i have to work this weekend.....oh well, mabe next time.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

I'm picking up the clutch alignment tool this afternoon, and I need to get a few things to adapt my 220Vac plug to the style you have. I'll just get the parts and bring them - if we don't need to weld anything, I'll take them back.



See ya tomorrow.

would it be easier for me just to buy a different plug. homedepot is right down the road.



mark

I have everything to swap plugs. I stopped at the Depot on the way home.



later

Mark, i cant make it. I have to pull this engine out of my parts car.

It was going to do it today insead but i was rained out so I have to do it tomorrow.

I know Rikki and his buddy Jason are going, he just called and asked if i was still going.



So there is at least four extra hands. Sorry man https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blush.png

see you guys tomorrow https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

just wanted to say thanks to Ryan, Brian, Drew, Chris, and Jason for coming over on sat. It was a long 8 hours, but we managed to test fit the engine and trans. Once I get the oil pan figured out we will have to get back together to pull the engine back out and install the clutch and everything. Not a bad day out of 2 30 packs and a six pack there where only 15 beers left. Here are some pictures of our work.
