730 ECM Swap

[Shannen Durphey]

War stories?

Once upon a time, I bought a 350 for $50.  First engine with a 4bbl,
and man was I excited!  The seller even offered to lift the engine for
free with his log skidder if I pulled all the bolts.  Silly me, I
forgot one bolt at the trans.  But that didn't stop the skidder.  75
Camaro goes up, down about 5 times until the trans finally breaks, and
15 minutes later I get to drive away with my bargain priced engine and
an extra 1/4 of a THM 350 as a parting gift.

Redneck scrap yards are the best!
