A break from engine swap content for amateur circuit board repair. It aint pretty but it works! Will put some special solder sealing paint on this guy and get it back in the truck.
Pulled it Thursday with help from a neighbor and his work truck, and I believe @brm2993 is coming up today from Raleigh to pick it up. I think he’ll be in touch with you about shipping the motor.
So just had a pow-wow with the lady who owns & rents out the house nextdoor to me. Her husband has a service truck with a big crane and pulls engines all the time. As a return favor for helping her (pregnant with twins) move furniture, he's gonna come and help me take it out either Friday...
Not too late - I was going to pick up the one I bought on Thursday / Friday. Would be glad to "return" it and borrow this for a bit if you don't mind.
Folded up would it fit in the back of my 60 you think?
I wasn't too keen on the looks of some of the rental cherry pickers (or the delivery charges) I saw. I ended up buying one from Home Depot that I'm gonna sell on marketplace or craigslist afterwards.

Here are some photos. Guessing the headgasket blew given all this oil. A bit of a mess. I have the top half of the air intake clamshell and bolts and will make sure that gets attached.
Anyone local want the 3rd row jump seats from a 97 40th Anniv (two tone leather)? I also have one intact 3rd row seatbelt and one damaged one. They're in good shape for their age, albeit with the depressions in the leather / foam from the seatbelt recepticles being smushed in when folded...
Well this sounds like a more optimal solution than scrapping it.
@brm2993 i was thinking about pulling it next weekend (mar 8 / 9). Would that work for you? Would you be willing to trade taking the engine off my hands (and shipping to @Fj80oregon presumably) in exchange for the trans...
Was stuck up at my parent's for the weekend, but brought along some cleaning supplies and vacuumed about a pound of red lab hair out of the HJ and hopefully breathed some new life into the starting to crack 60 series dash with plastic restorer. In the waning hours of daylight yesterday when I...
Is that the right name? Not finding anything.
It looks like it's kind of a more sophisticatedly designed version of this? VLOM Oil Galley Feed Plug | Crazed Performance R - https://www.crazedperformancerepair.com/product-page/vlom-oil-galley-feed-plug
