Well .. I would be damned .. that is 1900 miles trip one way . You are the fourth person who is now interested on that shell and Rey is like a child with all kinds of sweets infront of him and do not know what to get... His text messages are driving me crazy seriously . ( Rey - peace ) .

hahaha ... You and Rey are impulsive buyers I know you saw a crank pulley on the ad section and just becaus it was bling bling and it was PHR , you were about to grab it without researching if it was good for your engine ... I guess I can't blame you, I used to be the same !!!

Removing stuff at the engine bay is done. I just need to remove clutch slave, trans crossmember, exhaust/trans bracket and its ready to lift.
I have a question though, when I removed the harness from the firewall, I have no idea where this litlle white plug was connected.. any ideas?

LMAOL , you spend more time on coffee break and on the forums than working on the car the whole day that's the reason all you accomplished today was remove bolts / nuts and some wiring.That engine should have been out by midday.
Kidding aside , that white connector you are pointing at I believe is not connected to anything that is why it is tied down to the harness. Those wires I believe are connected in parallel to another connector. Some cars uses the bigger connector some will use the smaller connector. Somebody correct me if I am wrong.
Hey , you think the tub is strong enough to hold that whole short block ? I calculated shipping through UPS with the measurement and weight you gave me it is around $180.

I get hungry every hour... don't know why. I'm not diabetic. Lol.
When I got my GTE block tanked, it was pretty heavy without the internals. I would assume it's around 70 lbs. Those tubs should do the job.. I'm gonna go to Wal-mart later and see if I can find the right size tub. Should be doable, that is how Marlin Crawler send their transmissions to customers.... from what i've read.
Double tub should hold the weight, I 'll put 2x4 wood on the bottom and top so it won't move around and protect the crank since it will not have an oil pan.

Make sure get a tub that would do the job. I sent a differential in a tub to Mark and the freaking tub was all falling apart when it reached Mark and he is just neighboring state from me. Maybe place a wood at the the bottom of the tub so its sharp edges wont damage the tub. And no hurry .. just put it aside and do it whenever. I don't need it for now . I will send you the UPS shipping labels when its ready.

You've told me before if I take off that charcoal canister it will smell fuel... can you smell it from inside the car?
I want to put my Greddy bling-bling oil catch can on that space.

I'll find a tub later and treat my wife at Barro's Pizza ( yes eating again!!! ). I know those Balikbayan boxes won't do the job
Oh yeah, I should've bought an E10 torx, I could be done by now!

right now it won't smell ... when you get your car running again as time pass.. you will start smelling fuel because nothing is absorbing the fuel fumes. That is what the charcoal canister does.
