Manny is an animal, and he almost killed me. There are some that think it
would take weeks to R&R a 455 and tranny, but:

Manny drove into my driveway at 1 PM and we started to unload the engine and
tranny. By 8 PM he had R&R-ed a 455 engine and rebuilt transmission. (I
held his coat).

Here are some pictures of what I call the CARNAGE , or what was remaining
after it was over.

this was a tutorial on technology, and effort that was just amazing. It has
taken me 2 days just to recover and clean up the carnage (fall out) of the
exercise.

This was the first time either of us had been involved with a cherry picker
(Manny's), R&R of a 455. It was a lot faster than a Diesel / ? modified
engine install ;>)

WHAT FUN !! and WHAT A FRIEND !!
