The bumper jack makes for an excellent cheater bar.

Work is starting on removing the tired ol’ 301/TH350 from its rusty grave.

Didn’t have a long enough 1/2 extension to reach the motor mount bolts, so I whipped out my broken old 3/8 and bumper jack. Cracked those bolts loose RIGHT away.

Motor lifted off the subframe with a jack, so after I borrow an engine hoist from work I can separate them for good.

Not sure why, but I am going to move it to the garage and dig into it, after I chuck the subframe into the rusty scrap pile it belongs in.

Just doing some investigation? Or just need to anchor your boat? Lol.

A spare th350 would be nice insurance

Oh shit now i need a boat...

Or make a coffee table

Might turn the 350 into a nice urinal or sink

Coffee table is a fantastic idea for that lump.

I wish it didn’t run. I feel bad taking apart a ‘good’ motor. But seeing as it is a gutless useless pile that nobody wants...

They’re also a dime a dozen. No feelings will be hurt if you use it for art.

Well if the economy tanks and my #Essential paychecks dry up and my LS swap fund goes to pit, at least if I keep ‘er together I can get the Trans Am running with a LOT less power than planned.

A slow car that runs is more fun than a fast car that doesn’t!

Why not just sell it on craigslist or facebook? Even if you get next for nothing it’s still better than having it sitting in the corner of your garage for 10 years before you finally decide to do something with it .

My brother would probably sell you the LT1/T56 out of Harvy. He’s never going to finish the poor thing.

I probably couldn’t GIVE it away. I’ll try maybe.
