In the Panhandle and am going to need HELP soon

SonicBlu03L · 09-30-2009, 11:31 PM

Ok guys, here's the deal.... I've had my Lightning for a little over two years now and the engine has been out of it for half of that. I have all of the parts for the bottom end and will have my new TF heads and cams soon. Here's the problem, I had a local Ford Guru help me remove the engine with the promise that he would help me reinstall it because I have never done it in one of these trucks before. He has since become "unavailable" and I don't have the $ for a shop to do it. If anyone could lend a hand or even some helpful advice when the the time comes it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-Mike

Hit up Casey02L over at Lrodder, he's in P'Cola and he is the Guru you seek.

Thanks guys. L2, i've got the engine hoist, just not the knowledge of how to get the thing running again. Ive done engine swaps before, but this is my baby and i really dont wanna mess anything up. Its gonna be a little longer than expected due to the decision to get the new TF heads and cams, but hopefully it will be well worth it.
