Operation Set Up

Only had a couple hours to work on the car today, but as I said: I would indeed get work done.

The rigging is set up to pull the motor. It's definitely a home-brew contraption, but I am in full confidence that it will work. Here's it is:

I've got the block and tackle on loan from my cousin. It's hanging from a tow strap that circles a main beam that runs down the middle of the house. It's definitely strong. But to be doubly safe, we're going to set two adjustable lally columns on either side of the car, further strengthening the beam.

Each column is probably rated somewhere in the neighborhood of 5000 pounds, probably a lot higher even. Aside from Superman flying in, or Batman using some gadget off his utility belt, there's not a stronger way of doing this.

Hopefully this goes well tomorrow morning. Also, if anyone's in the market for a crappy Ford Cologne motor, shoot me an email. Seriously.
