I’ll take every V8 they can come up with!

 

Yeah, but don't forget, "With old engine suitable for rebuilding...".
You need to send them a good core for each one.

 

And they only take cash!

 

How many balls does that guy have?

 

Party time

 

if it aint fake at least he got it jacked up high enough to get the trans out.

 

Harbor freight jack and jack stands and a good old 2x4, can’t say I haven’t been there…

 

I think the front wheels would hang down lower if it were real:

 

looks like a pontiac and there hangin low enough to put a 6 pack of tall boys on top of the tire so there in the shade, stayin cool enough to drink when he gets thirsty from all that work.

 

I’ve had to do a few body/frame swaps over the years and it seems that they all take on that vibe no matter how well prepared you are.
Working in the driveway on your back with limited equipment is how it’s done, I don’t know how many times I swapped a transmission off my chest. I didn’t even own a decent floor jack until I was in my mid twenties.
It’s funny that we never got around to taking a picture of the things we did back then, probably to busy doing them.

 

The 80s: When Tires were wide and drivers were skinny...

 

Lol, this reminds me of my dad and abilities to fix things. When I was probably eight years old I walked into the kitchen and saw him sitting on the floor with his butt hanging out the top of his pants in front of the sink working, no banging on the pipes and cussing at the top of his lungs. He had been trying to replace the trap under the sink but it wasn’t going well, it looked like a pipe bomb named Bob went off. Mom called the plumber the next morning.

he was working with a pipe wrench, a pair of pliers and a claw hammer.

 

In those days it was film cameras, it was a lot more effort (and money) to get the pictures developed.

Sounds like the only time I had a "real" plumber in my 100+ year old house. He used his claw hammer to smash in the brass cleanout plug in the sewer line in the basement. After pulling out the chunks, he was surprised that the new plastic piece didn't screw in.
