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. |

I would think it all depends on the amount of rust damage there is. If the hell hole is more like a canyon & the right trailing arm mount is damaged as well, it would probably be easier to repair these areas without the engine in the way.
