Cherry picker.

Carlrx7 · 04-05-2011, 09:00 PM

I think i may need one to change the clutch.. how heavy is a ls2 shortblock? maybe i could just bench it out? could it be more than 225?

not sure about ls stuff, but my mod shortblocks, I can walk around with... I'm not happy but I can do it. Kinda like lugging a Th400 around, I can do it but damn I'm not happy.

get you a picker so that you will save your back. or fingers, arms, legs, toes, feet.. yeah.

Why do you need a cherry picker to change out the clutch?

Hmmm changing the short block while changing the clutch maybe. Anyways I won't be using mine this weekend if you want to borrow.

dude, you had half the car out & laying around the shop last week, why not just JackStand it for another week, and drop it all then?

a little utility trailer is good to tote a cherry picker on. i dont' have one now, but can round one up next week. do you have a hitch on the TBSS?

I have a cherry picker/engine hoist if you need to borrow one. Let me know.
