Howdy all;
About to start a restoration, hoping to do a rolling resto. After looking over some of the threads on prep for repairing longs, I see two things everyone advises: 1) brace the doors 2) get the car off the wheels, i.e. jackstands under the donuts It looks like the engine is nearly always pulled... Is this a must, or can the longs be repaired with the engine in? If so, is additional support under the engine/trans needed? Thanks for the input, M. |

If you have not taken the motor out, it's time to learn.
The first time will take a bit of time. I am down to about 45 minutes at a slow pace with coffee breaks. might as well buckle down and learn how to do it....it makes all sorts of stuff easier to do. |
