    I weighed it at a landfill on a certified scale. I was told accuracy was +- 20lbs.

    I'm really liking the idea of using less bolts on the bumper. That's my least favorite part of pulling the engine. A couple dzus fasteners on each side would be even better.

    I'd just settle for non-rusted bolts on the front bumper personally...That's my least favorite part.

    It's what happens when the guy you bought the car from, who claimed that the car was a southern car its whole life, turns out to be a liar.

    Messing with the damn bumper. (Bumper gets in way of hoist). I don't know why but every other part of removing and installing an engine is enjoyable. Going to install half the bolts next time

    Serge, Donnie doesn't have any humidity so doesn't understand this "rust" you speak of. Mine didn't have a spot of rust either until shipping it to Indiana. Then every bolt flash rusted in what seemed like days.

    I guess my hoist just has a longer arm, that's what I was missing.
