> You could literally use a tree to pull the engine. You could also just do it in your driveway. I've done that before. You just need to be organized and have everything ready to go. 

Tis true. There really just isn't the space. The driveway is too steep to do anything on. I have friends that would let me borrow space but i like to take my time working on things and they want to get it done in a weekend and that's just not happening. I know what it takes to work on this beast. Everything needs a big hammer, a torch, and a lot of patience. 

> A cheap beater really is a great thing to have.
A beater with a heater! I have 3 cars on insurance and only 1 that's not in storage so I've been avoiding the extra insurance cause too.  

 Ah! I see. That makes sense, then.
