First day done. Removed belly pan, unbolted both ends of axles, removed grill to radiator, and pulled engine/tranny out, swapped over mounts, pulleys( took the opportunity to align them OUTSIDE the engine bay), bolted the engine to tranny, hooked starter up to battery and cranked that sucker over like a champ. Made smoke so it will be going in tomorrow.



Gas engine before disassemble.



Empty bay.



Guess the engine was burning pretty clean.



It's like a transmission, only smaller.

Going in tomorrow, fuel tank swap, start on the fuel lines.
