Hi all, Strange request. I'm looking for someone who might be able to serve as my mechanical guide in Baltimore this weekend, when I hope to drop in my newly-rebuilt 413 engine back into my '66 300. Up until this point I've been working with a very nice older gentleman who unfortunately, about a month ago, contracted a spinal infection. He has been unable to continue on a normal work routine and as a result the final stage of the work has come to a halt. The engine has been rebuilt by L&M motors in Baltimore. The carborateur and radiator have also been rebuilt at other shops in the area. All are painted, primed and ready to drop in. All neccessary gaskets, mounts, wires, hoses, kits, etc. have been purchased and stand ready for installation. The only thing I'm missing now is the most critical ingredient for successful engine work: knowledge. My hope is this...I'm 32 years old, mechanically inclined but moderately experienced when it comes to work on the car. I am however very capable when it comes to doing the heavy lifting and bolt tightening. What I need now is someone to stand over me and say do this/do that. With proper preparation and my brother as help, I'm fairly certain the whole process won't take more than a day. I'm proposing to execute this engine drop-in this Saturday, November 3rd. I should be able to take a day off work on Friday to make doubly sure everything is ready to go for the big day. I will of course be more than happy to generously compensate in cash on the day any engine doctor who can make this unusual house call. Does anyone have the least bit of interest in this endeavor, or know anyone that might? Eagerly 300ly, Jonathan Sacks __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
