I STILL haven't put mine back in. But I pulled mine in a little under 5 hours.

If you want to know pull AND drop time.... going on about 7 months....

I pulled mine in about 30 mins one time but then again I dont have all that stuff that comes along with the stock engine and I have alot more room to get at things.
As for a stock engine I can probally get one out in less than an hour.

I pulled the engine out of my wrecked 88 GXL in 3 hours. Since the car was being sent to the junkyard, I just cut through lines with a saw and yanked the engine out with a rope and a metal bar.

My driveway is still stained with oil.

If you look at who's posting what times, you'll see that the more you do it, the faster you are. If you're asking this question, you'll be on the longer side.

2 seconds.....that's what happens when you hit a guard rail doing 70 MPH. I could walk right into the engine bay, peeled the front open like a sardine can. I did'nt get hurt by the way..not physically at least.

I personally think it doesnt matter how long it takes as long as you do it right because if you screw up and leave something off by accident you could be in for big trouble. Better safe than sorry

you click on user control panel and then go to edit options and once that loads scroll down and there should be a thing called "avatar" and there will be a pic if you already have one up there or if you dont click on change avatar

i got the picture when i first registered and i dont think there is a larger one as far as i know

I know how to put in an avatar, I was just hoping that I could find where it was originally available from.

Like a bigger original picture.

I like the wheels.

Oh well.
