Well, the block is out of the shop now(just a hot tank and hone), and I should have all of my parts by Friday. The plan is an all-out weekend marathon of engine rebuilding, hopefully finishing up sometime on Monday.
Does anybody have any tips for pulling the engine? Like where in the heck do you hook up the engine hoist? I'm planning on dropping the tranny first, then pulling the engine out mostly whole. This link has been pretty helpful also: Engine removal guide -------------------- Eric Wort

QUOTE I just took it to a local shop in Quincy, Nelsons. They have about a two day turn-around for a hot tank/hone if they're not too busy.  Damn i wish i would have known that earlier. No my car does not have ABS. Forgot about that good for nothing ABS shit. Even with it in it might be possible to pull the engine with enough of an angle while pulling it out. Maybe at like a 25 - 35% angle you could adjust it so that it wont get in the way while you move it around???? I dont know much about the abs system so i may be wrong? It might be easier in the end just to drop the tranny first.
