So Friday start work early so can finish early enough to get another motor from Zebra car parts was sunny when I started then half way through pissed down then sunny again for the actual removal. Saturday cleaned up new motor a bit Sunday pulled truck under deck / engine removal bay.
thought id time laps capture the removal of existing motor but phone when flat before actual removal ill be sure to get the re-install.

would be a good time to consider ditching those awfully rigid rear trailing arms and making up a linked setup for the rear if you've got any room left with that highmount sitting in the back of the chassis rails difflocks are good but so is keeping all the wheels on the ground
