blueiron Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 How many people could competently remove an OBD-II engine and swap it out for another dissimilar engine? The days of the shadetree mechanic are long gone and ASE technicians with computers have replaced them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Did it many times. My family owned gas stations. A buddies family owned a wrecking yard. And another had a big driveway with a real strong basketball pole we welded an extension to with a chain hoist. We were always wrenching on something. Great memories. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
