alright I just checked and its ------- far up there.. I would need a drill bit with a 8 inch ------- neck on it.. Or whatever you call it.. Now I gotta check some places for the proper tool.. I will keep you guys posted.. Let me know if anyone can point me in the right direction.

notching it in the car? man... talk about pain in the ass.

Pull the motor... do it right once. More steps? yes. Easier individual steps? yes. Plus you can take ---- off, clean and prep things on your feet rather than laying on ur back.

^^ loLz, and I thought welding exhaust pipes on a creeper with half a dozen jack stands hold up the car and the exhaust was a bitch!

Re: Block notching question #2
 

I just hope I can do it without ------- up the crank bearings..


Anyone else done it with the engine and crank in the car?

Re: Block notching question #2
 

I just did mine last night, crank out for sure, I dont see how it could be done with it in there, nor would I want to. There will be THOUSANDS of little peices of metal that will fly off, that will eat the hell out of you're bearings.

Edit: I brought my block to the machine shop today to have it hot tanked just to be sure to get it cleaned up good.
