Rocky’s book is required reading for anyone looking to build their own motor or pay a machinist to build it for them.

I just got through purchasing the "How to build a Pontiac Engine, book" by Rocky Rotella. It has been a long time since I picked up a book, I would say that the last time was when I took the Drafting course at Atlantic Voc-tech in Coconut Creek Fla. in the late 90's, approx.
Lou, is outside setting the engine Hoist up for tomorrow afternoons lift, while we uncouple the Th 400 Trans. from the motor first and lower it onto the motorcycle jack that doubles for a Trans. jack, in our case. I still need to research an engine stand-motor mount to stand, that went missing some time ago?

I am a deep thinker at times, that is because I have had to solve each and every dam problem on this second-hand project, that has become a nightmare. From Pistons installed backwards, Rod orientated wrong, plus all the other wrong issues my predecessor created for me to fix, over the last ten years, as if I did not have enough to do already!
