First I gotta say that you must have a an amazing memory. Not just remembering where the random bolts and clips go at the end but the fact that you’re doing other cars in between and then coming back to the caddy and continuing right where you left off. Secondly there are times I have been under a car busy with my hands full and if someone even so much as talks to me or interrupts me, I get agitated. How you manage to do that and record even when it’s not the least bit convenient is a testament to your dedication and skill. I have learned a lot watching you, it will be a sad day in the KZfaq automotive world if you ever decide to stop doing this.

Your catch phrase, “If I can do it, you can do it” has never been more wrong then it is in this video series. To be able to remove an engine from a vehicle that you’ve never done before, locating numerous electrical connections, wiring harnesses and mechanical connections takes a talent and set of cajones most of us will never possess. The ability to remember where all this crap needs to be reattached is remarkable to say the least. To an average nit wit like myself, to me it’s beyond complicated and would lead to a “level 10”frustration within minutes of starting. I dare say for every 1000 wrench turners there’s only one Eric O. A true master of the master mechanics. Videos such as this certainly prove why that shop phone is incessantly ringing. People in Avoca are more then blessed to have South Main as a repair shop.

Non rust belt cars are awesome. My family is primarily from eastern upstate NY but my parents moved us to Mooresville NC area in the late 70s. My cousin that was also a tech in NY would fly down for vacation every winter and buy 2 mid 80s pickup trucks. Then rent a tow dolly and drive them back to NY and sell them. Always made enough profit to pay for flight and expenses and spending money while on vacation. Trucks in NC were a dime a dozen and sold for mint in NY. Easy to make 2-3 grand or more each truck. Had a couple friends that bought car carrier 5th wheel trailers and bought southern vehicles and transported them up north. Had a few used car lots they would take orders from and find and deliver what they wanted most. Plenty of cheap late 60s muscle cars went north this way. 67-70 Camaros could be bought for 4-5 grand and sell for 3-4 times that up north.

I've done several out the bottom without a lift table by getting almost everything loose, raising the car a couple feet off the ground and using an engine hoist to gently lower the assembly down. This also helps in reinstalling because you have the ability to wiggle and move the assembly while lifting it back into place. Sure beats having to balance on jack stands and ensuring that you get it back in the exact position.

Suggestion for lift. Amazon has a shop / motorcycle flat lift rated at 1100 LBS made by VIVOHOME for $149.99. it has 4 swivel wheels and a hand crank lift handle. Take some 2 X 2 steel square tube and extend the wheel base for better stability and take the lift crank end off, weld on a large nut and you can use an electric impact to raise and lower easily. I would put a 1 inch plywood top onto the lift platform where you can put jack stands and you can attach the stands by welding tabs on the bottom of the legs and bolt them to the wood in any pattern.The 4 swivel wheels will let you move the stand any way you need and lift the engine slowly from underneath. for occasional use this is cheap and versatile and small storage. It can also be used to roll transmissions or whatever also.
