OK, there may be a little melodrama in the title, but
Scar is donating his engine so that the HitMan's 240 might live. I like the idea of having a spare engine laying around, but I feel better about getting another car running that is actually road worthy.
I pulled
Scar down by the garage to start on the engine removal, but went ahead and drove him up the road and back first. It was very funny, I was on my way back and about an 1/8 mile from my house when a car came around the bend in the road behind me. What must they have been thinking to see a car driving down the road with the rear bumper darn near in the back seat!
I put on my blinker out of habit, but there isn't even a light assy. left on that side.
This engine sure does idle smoothly, and drove fine down the road considering what it is wrapped up in. Radiator appears to have a hole in it, so no spare there.
I guess I will see if anybody wants the manual tranny and all components associated with it. I like having the wagon automatic, so I won't need it. I need to find a way to get my Bundts and tires from it when I haul it off, or have it hauled off.
So, just a dumb little thread that I will chronicle
Scar's last days. I'll let the HitMan take it from
there.......
