A few years ago me and one of my students carried a 350 out of my Jeep and into the school so I could hide it in my classroom until I was ready to build it LOL.
Either way, a bare block is about the same as one friend, and a friend is much easier to have climb into the engine bay.  I'd have one friend sit on one strut tower, and another on the other side - that would spread the weight out evenly and make life easier. |
Yeah, I'll probably do that if this last ditch attempt at using a compressor fails. I doubt it will if I was able to get the original ones out with the car assembled using that particular compressor.
