Work didn't stop with the Firebird yesterday. I slipped out to the garage for an hour or so to begin readying the engine and trans to be pulled. I didn't get too much accomplished, but the plugs are out (I wanna do a compression check yet), headers unbolted, exhaust unbolted (aside from one bolt that will get cut off), belts off, fan removed, driveshaft out, shifter linkage removed, and support braces removed.
I hope to have the engine and trans removed by Saturday with a little luck, and the transmission in the basement ready for rebuild. As I've said, I'm not looking to let this winter project drag into late spring/early summer, as I hope to be racing early in the season.
On a final note, when the hell did kerosene become so hard to come by? Thankfully, the gas station a few doors down has it, but I figured I'd hunt for a better deal yesterday after paying $5+ at that station last winter. After a lot of hunting, I found a suburban hardware store out near Scott's shop, and paid $5.99 a gallon. When I got home, I looked at the station on the corner...$4.59 a gallon. LMAO...yep, sounds about right.
