Now that the LS has been tested, cleaned and painted, I have finally run out of excuses and the time to pull the original 327 + Powerglide has come.
Lift-off...
BIG TIP: For anyone trying this at home (especially with the engine and box connected), I cannot speak highly enough of the effectiveness of an adjustable, load-levelling, spreader. It made the job sooo easy.
Touchdown...
Though the front suspension and steering components are still relatively clean from the 2011 rebuild, the areas shrouded by the engine + trans aren't looking so flash (e.g. cross member)...
Now the focus is to clean 50-years worth of grime off the engine bay, prep and paint before we can test-fit the LS.
