I was exercising and lifting weights at that time though. I would probably struggle more now. Rick Knoble Rick, Rolf, and all. When I was about 27, I put a 55 Olds 4 speed Hydramatic in my Corvette, for drag racing. I dug a hole in the dirt to fit my body, then slid the trans on my chest and boosted it in. It took about 3 trys! I think my gonads were gone for about 3 days! I later weighed one of these and with the fluid coupling, it was 225 pounds!
