Those are some really nice pics. Did you do all of that yourself? How hard is it to pull the engine?

Not hard. Get an engine hoist and a leveler and you too can pull your engine.

Thanx! it wasnt real bad but i have pulled motors many times before from camaros chevelles novas etc.. but this was my first vette, It had a descent 454 with worn out old L88 heads on it and the valves were goin so i pulled it, I found out the car was an original 350 hp 327 and happen to have a 350 hp 327 that was new so i dropped it back in after the cleaning (which was the hard part).
it is a good time to replace all worn stuff like motor mounts,clutch and pressure plate,battery cables,dry rotted vaccum lines,etc....

just a heads up i dont think por15 is to be used on plastic or firewall (fiberglass) but i may be wrong but is great for things like anti rust for frame,a-arms etc..
