Well current progress is that I got home and took the engine out, took about 3 hours to have the axles out and the engine sitting where it needs to be with the intake manifold off and on the other engine. Just gotta get the rest of the shit on the other one tomorrow and get it in.
gotta pick up my new reman axles since the boots are starting to F up on the current ones. So close with so little left to do. No turning back now...I hope.
