About 2 weeks someone had posted the link to a photo album that showed taking the engine out the bottom. For the life of me I cannot find it again. Any help out there?

Ed Dome ordered a 455 from us Tuesday. We had a truck pick it up the
same day with bunch of optional parts.
They should be at the shop on Thursday so they can spend the weekend
under and over the engine.
JR, there are 4 of you traveling?
Ed was telling me that taking a nap under the coach is the best kept
secret from the women folks.
Karen, does not as she is too efficient.
Ed claims that the hot Arizona sun is so hot that he needs to retreat
to under his coach.
When I use to have mine at our driveway, I had pleasant naps under it also.

John -

You are way ahead of me as usual. I hope you/he designed the top bar to be
level when the nose of the coach is up in the air, the modification shown in
the pictures was a result of Bob Stockholm's use. Some means of locking the
trolley is a good feature to incorporate.

Good luck with the project. If you wouldn't mind, when you get time I would
like to see some pictures of the hoist frame that you made.

Bob

Jim,
Yes, there are four of us that traveled from the Michigan and Ohio area together. Along with Ed & Judy, myself and Jan, there was Dale & Bee Frahm and Dick & Kathy Wilson. As bad as it sounds it was lucky that the engine went only 200 miles from Tucson. Ed has good friends that are excellent mechanics and racers and they have a great work shop to work at. The engine in place early next week. The brothers race on the weekend so the weekend will be a rest period. The old engine should be on the ground tomorrow and alot of cleaning and assembly needs to be done before it can go back into the coach.

John

If you don't mind spending a little time, go to gmcnet.com and click on
that individual and go through their posts that they have made.
I am sure you will come up with a lot of little tid bits of info.
