    I have a 1000lbs furniture dolly under it and it's to much weight for this thingy.

    Yeah I'm thinking about using two of them under it, but I'm yanking it all apart for cleaning and everything so shouldn't be to much trouble for now, I have it wheeled under my hoist so to pieces it goes very soon!

    Yeah, it sure looks pretty dirty. You could use a cheap hydraulic siccor cart so you could raise it up to make working on it easier.

    Well it seemed the hardest part to me for anyone would be the cradle bolts on the passenger side. They are blocked by the alternator and the oil tank.

    Other than that it was pretty simple. I did it over a couple of days but id say I had 6 hrs in just dropping it. I double checked everything and had to go to work inbetween the work on the car. Now that I know what a 95 355 needs in order to drop it I would have no problem getting it done faster. It still cracks me up working on these cars is so much like working on modern aircraft.

    Awesome....and please please please take lots of step-by-step pics of the engine out service with your notes and observations. I'm probably looking at an engine out svc next year and hoping to tackle it myself or with a willing Fchatter I can bribe with copious amounts of alcohol and BBQ. Any takers? :)
