I read the book a couple months ago, I agree that it's a lot better than the movie. Definitely a book for sci-fi readers though, could be difficult if you weren't used to hardcore sci-fi. Curt Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Sat, Oct 30, 2021 at 5:51 PM, Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes

From my experience, I think you will find all the electrical and engine controls will have quick disconnects. In most cases, the steering and front end will come out with the engine cradle so there will be a steering shaft and shifter disconnect points. The car will be designed around the mindset

Re: [MBZ] Trailer reno

Do what I did for a 2 ton Ford flatbed truck we had at a former business: Get some 5/4 or thicker oak and let is be newly cut (wet) or soak it in water. Cut it to fit the bed and bolt it down, then let it dry. Once it’s dried (and shrunk a bit) soak it with paint or a good water sealer, like

Pro tip: Build an engine receiving cradle that will fit on a pallet jack. ie a good solid wood pallet with blocks of wood screwed to it at the proper locations to receive the engine. Then, when the engine cradle is detached from the car, you can lift the car off the engine with the car hoist,

A subframe engine drop using your new car lift would be a cake walk... Set jackstands under the subframe lift points, disconnect all plumbing and electrical, then the attach bolts for subframe assembly Lift the car off the engine. Repeat in reverse to install replacement.
