I need to drop a 1.7 out of a really rusted '72. I don't want to get under the car since the doors are the only thing holding it together (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)
I think it would be quicker and safer to just cut the bar (maybe at the bolts?) and the tranny mounts. Will a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) cut through the engine bar okay? I wish I had a plasma torch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) Cheers |

The late model bar is cast iron. Don't try it.
I would try grinding off the bolt heads with a mini grinder first. |

I would think it would be easier just to lay on the floor and reach 6" under the car with a ratchet and remove the nuta from the mount bolts. Plasma torches are cool but can cause fires easy.

Plasma torches are cool but can cause fires easy. I agree, just unbolt it. You'll still need to get under it to disconnect everything (shift rod, acc. and clutch cable, starter wiring etc, etc, etc) anyways. Paul |
